@pakyun22 before I had the pancreas transplant my kidneys were deemed to be mild to moderate CKD. I was was being evaluated to determine if I was a candidate for simultaneous pancreas kidney transplant (SPK). I wasn’t. I had a pancreas alone transplant in 2005. I was put on Prograf and later changed to Tacrolimus. I tolerated it really well. Sometime after that I had a kidney biopsy and have some kidney damage due to Tacrolimus. I am currently stage 4 CKD. I think my kidney troubles are mainly due to Diabetes and not because of Tacrolimus.
