Summary

This is a randomized clinical trial to assess an intervention to facilitate patient self-collection of dried blood samples at home for therapeutic drug monitoring of tacrolimus and mycophenolate in kidney transplant recipients.

In this study, text messages will be sent to mobile devices to remind kidney transplant recipients to perform therapeutic drug monitoring at home using a special lancet device to collect blood samples from the upper arm. The primary objective is to evaluate if more intensive, bidirectional text messages improve the quality of sample collection.

Conditions

  • Kidney Transplant

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Automated text messages

Automated text messages will be used to facilitate blood sample collection at home for therapeutic drug monitoring of tacrolimus and mycophenolate. Participants will collect dried blood samples on 4 occasions. Two days in the clinical with simultaneous venipuncture (one sample) and two days at home with 4 samples collected at specified time points over 8 hours.
