Thank you so much for your detailed response Lori! The information you provided is very helpful to me. Do you have regular lab work that includes Mycophenole Acid test and MPA Glucuronide to determine your Cellcept levels? (One of our wonderful Mayo Connect family members mentioned these tests and I am wondering if they may be helpful to determine the optimum Cellcept dosage for me.). I am going to mention it to my Coordinator, but I was wondering if anyone had any first hand experience with these tests and how they are used? Thank you again for being so caring. I am very happy that I joined Mayo Connect this weekend!

I don’t take Cellcept. I’m currently on Tacrolimus and as @rosemarya mentioned that’s monitored with my monthly blood tests from my local lab and is sent off to Mayo for processing, along with a CMV kit to make sure the CMV that came in with my new immune system isn’t rearing it’s ugly head.
The tests you mentioned are not on my blood panels so I can’t help you there. You’re asking some great questions so keep a list for your transplant team. When is your next appointment?
Here is some information on the Mycophenole Acid test and MPA Glucuronide tests on the Mayo Clinic website.
