Brief Summary

Study of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic variability of mycophenolate mofetil in renal transplant patients already on long-term MMF treatment (at least 6 months post-transplant; at least 3 months in therapy).

Study hypothesis: to investigate whether long-term MMF therapy alters IMPDH biological activity and if there are any correlations with the risk of AR.
