Hi @eaa2025
No need to apologize for your delay in responding. I know you had a lot going on with the biopsy and lab work.
It sounds like the biopsy was helpful to let your transplant team know that he needed a slight increase in his immune suppression meds.
I am so surprised to hear that he was having mild rejection at the same time as recurring infection. I thought your husband was probably over-suppressed, but it turned out that he needed to increase his dosage. Now I understand the importance of the biopsy in these situations.
It also looks like they changed Valcyte to Livencity to take care of the CMV. What is your husband's current CMV viral level? Is the BK now negative?
All the other infection pretty much under control now?
I am so happy to hear from you. It sounds like the biopsy showed there is no damage, just a little mild rejection, so that's all excellent news.
