I keep asking my liver transplant doctor if my repeated infections are from Mycophenolate, but she says no. Although, she did reduce my dose in half. My feeling is that it’s a combination of my autoimmune diseases and Mycophenolate.
It is definitely a Catch 22 dilemma, dealing with the medication side effects vs. protecting our new life giving organ. Fortunately, my new liver is doing well! And, I’ll definitely try to keep him happy!
Let us know how your labs and doctor visits go, Leah
Hi @leahdrose 😊 It sounds like your CMV and BK virus levels are now low enough and under control, which is great news. Are you taking 500mg Cellcept once a day or twice a day? When you say your "rejection rate is running high". What criteria or test are your doctors using to monitor your rejection rate? Is your creatinine elevated or is there another test that is giving them concern?
