Core Tip	We discussed the methods of mycophenolic acid (MPA) monitoring, pharmacokinetic characteristics, clinical exposure related to acute rejection and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) associated side effects in liver transplant recipients. We also introduced the methods of limited sampling strategies to predict the MPA area under the concentration-time curve. It demonstrated that a fixed-dosage MMF regimen might not be suitable. In clinical settings, monitoring of MPA exposure seems reasonable and necessary.
