Transplant: Third dose, no antibodies: How are you staying safe?

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! 🙂

I was on Cellcept right after the transplant, had a failed ureter, got really sick and they switched me to Imuran. The first year is a blur to me, having had four major surgeries in about 8 months. My creatinine has remained very steady, fluctuating between 1.7 - 1.9. I don’t really hear much about BUN, so I guess it must be good. This visit it was 25. I was very alarmed early on when my creatinine was so high and my GFR was 35, but none of that has changed over the years. I’m very grateful. Congratulations on one year!
