Fig 1
Twenty-four hour trough plasma concentrations of FK 506 in relation to serum bilirubin following the first intravenous dose. Trough values tended to be higher when serum bilirubin was > 2 mg/dl.

Typical pharmacokinetic profile following intravenous FK 506 administration in two patients with bilirubin 0.4 and 2.3 mg/dl. A slower fall in plasma concentration is noted after the distribution phase in the jaundiced patient.

Fig 3
Pharmacokinetic profile of FK 506 after intravenous dosing on two separate occasions in the same patient. A rapid fall was noticed after the distribution phase as the liver function improved.
Fig 4

Rise in daily trough levels of FK 506 as the hepatic function deteriorated. Three days after stopping FK 506, there was still a significant drug level in the blood plasma.
