@my44 diabetes and hypertension are the two most common causes of kidney problems. But as you know there are other reasons. Is your sarcoidosis being treated? Congratulations on your kidney transplant! How is the function of your new kidney?

Hi, @cehunt57

My sarcoidosis affected several of my organs, so it was treated with prednisone for 13 months. There is no cure for it, but it went into remission; and there is no further treatment required as long as it remains in remission.

Thanks for the transplant congrats. I am about 15 months post transplant now, and so far so good. My kidney is doing well, my labs are good, my transplant team is happy, and they've been able to reduce the doses of all of my immunosuppressant meds. And I now only need to see my transplant team twice a year.
