@codered032 I have never heard the word “remission” used regarding chronic kidney disease (CKD). I have stage 4 CKD related to diabetes. My GFR is 28. I had a pancreas transplant (in 2005) and was put on Tacrolimus as an immune suppressant to prevent rejection. I take 1.5 mg in the morning and 1 mg at night. Your post caught my attention. It is interesting.

Hello echunt57 I was diagnosed with MCD in 2019. I don’t have diabetes not high blood pressure, nor any other chronic illness. MCD presents with proteinuria. I take Tacrolimus 3mg twice daily to decrease the proteinuria. My GFR is between 50-62. All of my other labs are considered stable. According to my treatment plan I have been in remission for over a year. If things remain stable I will start to taper off Tac next April.
