Transplant anti-rejection medications. What's your advice?

A creatinine of 1.0 is excellent! Mine goes up and down between 1.4 and 1.7. My latest BUN is 31. But my doctor is fine with that. My problem is I don’t always drink enough water. They want 8-10 cups daily. My creatinine was never under 2.0 with my first transplant in 1994. And it lasted almost 25 years. So you never know. Everyone reacts differently to the transplant and the drugs.

Thank you so much for this very comforting information @tjdog ❤
Meeting you has made me very happy and very hopeful that I may get 20 years from my new kidney!! I just turned 61, so 25 years would super wonderful.
Question- Did you have a hemodialysis fistula in your arm before your transplant? My fistula is growing too large and I am planning on having surgery to shut it down. Do you have any experience or know anyone that had that surgery?
