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.

I’m 8 mos out from transplant. Shortly after transplant, one or two wks, I had acute rejection. I was given steroid infusion for about 5 days. It solved the problem and my creatinine levels have been right on since then. I was told the cause was that they misjudged how much immunosuppressants I needed. People my age usually have lower immune systems and can get by with lower levels of immunosuppressants. I’m in the 17% who don’t.
Wishing your husband good results.🙏🏻

@triciaodonnell I think it is really key to have confidence in your doctors. I am sure they will, as you say, "solve the mystery". I have that confidence too in my doctors at MGH (Mass General). I am surprised that blood pressure is an indicator. I think I am about to go on blood pressure medication, I'm sort of borderline and my PCP wants me to wear a 24-hour monitor. UGH, another medication.
