N2  - A case of a 23-year-old female, after renal transplant, who had tried to commit suicide with 100 mg of Prograf was described. In the presented case despite the relatively high tacrolimus blood concentration level (>30 microg/l) only severe 5-hour lasting headache and short-term mild hyperglycaemia (7.22 mmol/l), hyperkalemia (5.4 mmol/l) and considerable leukocytosis (19.52 x 10(3)) were observed. In this case there was mild clinical course of intoxication despite tacrolimus high blood concentration. It could not be excluded that early administration of gastric lavage and activated carbon was partly responsible for mild course of poisoning.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
