@bobweller Tacrolimus can cause toxicity to the kidneys. It can also cause increased blood sugars. Could you ask your transplant team about alternative immune suppressants?

I tried years ago with Sirolimus and I was allergic to it. I got hives all over. But we stopped there. That was when I was told Prograf/Tacrolimus is the only suppressant that can be measured by a simple blood test (FK 506). This is the name they assigned to Prograf test during development.
