@caretakermom You are correct that they usually don't give transplant recipients blood transfusions due to the antibodies and the level of meds in the system. However, since I was so low they needed me to be in the hospital for 3 days to get the transfusion. It wasn't done at the ambulatory transfusion clinic.

@caretakermom I am a double lung transplant recipient so it is a bit different. I have never heard of Parvo Virus B19. I also didn't get my transplant from Mayo, but from a hospital close to me that specializes in lung transplants. So I go to my doctors all in the same network, so that is a bit different than what you are going through. Don't stop advocating for your husband. Although you might want the one doctor to contact the other don't count on it unless they are in the same network. I didn't see a Nephrologist until I started having some concerning numbers about my kidneys. However, they have nothing to do with the anemia. I go to another doctor that specializes in that. They haven't been able to determine what the cause of my anemia is. However, with the shots they have been able to bring my hemoglobin back up to the range of 10.
