Mycophenolate discontinued after CMV reoccurrence
Hi, I have just completed 4 months of my liver transplant and was on Tacrolimus 3 mg daily & Mycophenolate 1000 mg daily. Since CMV infection reoccurrence happen twice so doctor has advices to stop Mycophenolate completely. Does anyone has experience of early stop of Mycophenolate and how was their experience?

I am sure the Dr knows what he is doing, perhaps the # of viral copies of CMV are significant to make him take that approach, also did the WBC count must have experienced a steep decline. .. which you can look in the CBC diff test results... Wish you the Best.

Im almost 4 years post liver transplant, and have been off mycophenolate for geez 3 1/2 years. My WBC was almost non-existent and they took me off the mycophenolate. I have had no issues (fingers crossed 🤞) and have maintained my TAC trough consistently at 4 for the last 3 1/2 years. Good luck with your journey, and never forget your Dr's know what's best for you. 💛💛💛💛
