The purpose of this study is to measure the amount of MMF and tacrolimus concentration in the blood at a given time. Currently MMF is ordered as a set dose and tacrolimus is given based on body weight. While the deceased donor transplant receives the complete liver, in the live donor just over half of the liver is given (about 60%). The way these different types of transplants break down drugs could be different. Measuring the drug levels allows us to know what happens to the medication in between the morning and the evening dose.
