CAN was diagnosed by renal biopsy and the amount of fibrosis was quantified with PicroSiriusRed staining. MMF therapy was combined with ciclosporin A and prednisolone. MPA‐C0‐levels, measured by high‐pressure liquid chromatography, were tested every 3 months. In 12 children a full MPA area under the curve concentration (AUC) was measured.
