I am afraid this is gonna be my case, i been tacrolimus for 18 yrs for pancreas tranplant, my kidney function got really bad,
Is that the only option or can we switch to another immune suppressant which is less toxic?

@pakyun22 for me I have tried to decrease the Tacrolimus to what is considered the minimally effective dose. I think new immune suppressants are continually being discovered so it doesn’t hurt to inquire about them of your transplant team from time to time.
