MLVI has been used to assess adherence. To determine the MLVI in children 60 IU/L, ACR, death, and graft loss. We analyzed demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, indication for transplantation, and type of donor. Student's t test and the chi-square test were used. Statistical significance was set at P ≤. 05. Seventy-two percent were infants or preschoolers, 62% biliary atresia. Seventy-four percent of the mothers had middle-school education, and 54% of the families had an income ≤3632. 4 US/y. Twenty-two (44%) patients had a MLVI ≥ 2 SD; this was more prevalent in families with higher incomes (P =. 045). ALT levels > 60 IU/L were more common in MLVI ≥ 2 SD group (P =. 035). ACR episodes were similar between groups (P = 1. 000). No patient died or lost the graft. MLVI ≥ 2 SD may be an indicator of the risk of medication non-adherence.
