Hello I was dx with MCD overa year ago. I had never heard of it prior to my dx. I was treated with Prednisone with limited results. I started taking Tacrolimus 3 months ago, 3mg 2X daily. Besides being expensive I hate the side effects. Can anyone tell me how often you have to have blood levels done? Is it possible to go into full remission of MCD?

I don't have any experience with Minimal Change Disease. If you haven't seen this information in the NIH (National Institute of Health) Rare Diseases Section I want to share it in hopes that you can find some answers to your questions.
