Anyone experienced Elevated Liver Enzymes from Cellcept or Tacrolimus?

Good morning @athenalee 😊 As always, thank you for your thorough, detailed and well-researched response!! Question - in your research did you see any conversation about Tac or Cellcept causing elevated liver enzymes? I take exactly the same dosage and medications as you! My liver enzymes are slightly elevated. Pre-transplant they were normal so I am assuming it's one of the meds or the combination that is causing the liver to be slightly upset. I have a liver ultrasound scheduled next week. Thank you for jumping in to the conversation Athena!!

Oh…sorry! Thought we were talking creatinine levels. I have read that Tacrolimus has been noted to have a relatively rare side effect of elevating liver enzymes. Not surprising for any drug metabolized primarily by the liver and used in conjunction with other meds primarily metabolized by the liver, such as Mycophenolate.
Sounds like your transplant team is on top of it by getting you a precautionary ultrasound. We all certainly react differently with our meds.
