I am learning so much from this discussion about things that I never thought about!

I looked up my records on my patient portal. I see that I have a lab result listed for Mycophenolic acid as part of my annual evaluation for my transplant. Lab values include Mycophenolic Acid and MPA Glucuronide. I don't know what the results mean and I have not inquired. My PA will go over my lab results with me, and I listen for her to say that my Mycophenolate level looks good.

My tacrolimus level is tested each time I have my routine scheduled labs drawn for my transplant. It is a mail-in kit that Mayo processes.

Our lab results are looked at as a whole by our transplant specialists. And are interpreted according to our unique organ and underlying conditions. My numbers are not your numbers, and some of my numbers which look high or low to me, are acceptable according to my team. Even my PCP, relies on the voice of my transplant doctors.

Hi Rosemary! Thank you so much for telling me about the Mycophenole Acid test and MPA lab tests! I am going to ask about them to see if they may be helpful to me for determining my optimum Cellcept dosage moving forward. Are your WBC, Neutrophil Abs, and Lymphocyte tests in the normal range?
