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

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!

Thank you so much for this very comforting news @mollyv 🙂 I am so happy to meet a TEN year PLUS success story!! Your story gives me great hope for my future. My hemodialysis fistula has been growing in size and there is a recommendation to remove it. Did you keep your fistula or shut it down? I was so sorry to hear about your difficult first year with FOUR major surgeries. Were they all related to your failed ureter or something else?Happily, you are now experiencing WONDERFUL, FABULOUS news with your kidney numbers and your ANTIBODIES!!! Enjoy and celebrate this fabulous news 🙂 You brought a big smile to me!! Love to you 😊
