Hi Everyone! I just just got home from my 10 year, post kidney transplant, checkup. My kidney is doing great, thank God! But the best news I received was that my antibody test came back showing I have full immunity! You could have knocked me over with a feather. I’ve had three doses of Pfizer, and it’s been about 2 months since my booster. I take Tacrolimus and Imuran for my anti rejection meds. She thought maybe I had antibodies because of taking Imuran instead of Cellcept. No scientific research on that as yet. Of course I’m to continue to take full precautions and avoid crowds, so nothing much changed there. She also mentioned that using the KN95 masks was great protection. I’ve been wearing them exclusively for months now. So, that’s my report. There is hope for us!

Thank you for sharing. I took Pfizer and had no antibodies 4 months after my vaccine. I just took my booster and plan on checking my antibodies in two months. I will continue to wear my mask, and practice all of the suggested precautions. Sadly my church doesn’t believe in wearing mask nor safe distancing so for 2+ years I have attended virtual church on line. Stay safe and thank you

Hello @mollyv 🙂 Congratulations on your covid antibodies and your ten year post kidney transplant anniversary!!! Both of those events are wonderful news! I just celebrated my one year post kidney transplant anniversary (but no antibodies after three Moderna shots). I take Tac and Cellcept. May I ask two questions. After ten years, what does your creatinine and BUN readings look? I am starting with a creatinine of 1.0 and BUN of 20 (deceased donor). I am curious what happens to these numbers over time. Do they tend to hold the same or start to slowly increase over the years? Also, were you originally on Cellcept and switched to Imuran for a reason or always on Tac and Imuran? Thanks so much for sharing your awesome and very happy news! 🙂
