@charlie5454 I so relate to your post. Another thing I discovered in the process of post transplant lab level draws is that the phlebotomist is sometimes unfamiliar with the test & / or is following protocol by rote instruction. They don’t always ask the date and time of the last dose of immune suppressant. Who knows what or if anything is recorded? That can make the level seem falsely high or low! I make a point of telling them the date and time and ask them to make sure to record it. Later if the level seems wonky, that is one reason that can be ruled out.
