@triciaodonnell Tricia, that's wonderful that you were a donor for your husband, but I am sure quite distressing that he is experiencing rejection issues. I hope they manage to get that under control. When I questioned my surgeon about what would happen if rejection occurred, he just told me not to worry, that they would take care of it, so I trust that they would. What were your husband's symptoms that led them to discover that he was having issues? It's been two years and three months for me now and no problems but they say that no matter how long it has been, rejection can occur. At this point, I worry more about catching something than I do rejection.

I think it’s smart to leave the worrying to our wonderful Mayo doctors- as they are good “detectives”, and hopefully will solve the mystery. My husband’s symptoms are unusual fatigue and some muscle aches. The biopsy showed some inflammation in his kidney, but they also wanted to tweak the cholesterol and blood pressure meds. It’s only been a few days...so we are still waiting to see improvement.
