Hi Kat, good news seeing those blood numbers creeping up! Your new marrow is busy doing what it’s supposed to do!

Yes’m, some of those meds can be pretty rough on the kidneys, especially the Tacrolimus if you’re on that. I guess I never asked. Is that the name of your anti-rejection med? Tacrolimus can change the blood flow to the kidneys, restricting its ability to perform at normal capacity. It usually corrects over time as you taper from the drug.

The combination of some meds can change the processing time of other medications, especially the Tacro. For instance, I was on infusions of anti-fungal daily for about 1.5 months. When I was switched over to oral Posaconazole, as predicted by my doctor, the amount of tacro in my body was elevated because of that drug. I went into acute kidney failure which was quickly reversed with a reduction of tacro dosages and fluids. It can take some tweaking to get percentages of meds at just the right proportions. You may experience some fluctuations during the next few months…all part of the process.
I’d say you’re doing really well with all of this and making great progress! I love all your little updates! Thank you for checking in. Your minions are hard at work…😅
