Title: The Influence of Once-daily Versus Twice-daily Immunosuppressive Regimen on Drug Compliance in Patients After Renal Transplantation
Brief Summary: The main objective of this study was to compare the drug compliance in patients after renal transplantation under once or twice-daily tacrolimus-based immunosuppressive regimen.

The rationale for this study is to access the influence of once-daily prolonged-release tacrolimus versus standard twice-daily tacrolimus on drug compliance in renal transplantation recipients base on the assumption that once-daily dosing regimen may help to improve drug compliance.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Men and women aged 19 and over
2. At least 1 month lapsing from kidney transplantation
3. Stable renal function maintained after kidney transplantation(eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73m2)
4. History of kidney transplantation only and no other organs
5. Use of tacrolimus, mycophenolic acid, and steroids for post-transplant immunosuppression
6. Patients, with capability and willingness to give consent to trial participation, who have signed the informed consent form in compliance with due process and are capable of making office visits and taking part in the trial as required by the protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients' refusal of the ICT-based centralized home monitoring
2. History of treatment for acute rejection within the past 3 months
3. Active infectious disease
4. Uncorrected ischemic heart disease
5. Visual or auditory defects that could affect use of the smart pill box
6. Fingerprint authentication of personal identity deemed impossible (ex: adermatoglyphia)
7. Other reasons determined by investigators that make participation in the clinical trial inappropriate
