Hair loss after transplant, probably Tacrolimus: Anyone change meds?

Yes, you and I are probably among the few that hold 2020 in such high regard:)
Yes, there are blood tests to measure the Cyclosporine levels. My levels are tested regularly. My donor kidney was a close match and my body is sensitive to meds, so I am on some pretty low doses of meds, as I understand it. I take 180 mg Mycophenolate 2x a day and 100mg Cyclosporine 2x a day.

Wow, how wonderful! That is a fabulous low dose regimen each day...terrific news! Is there a way the docs can tell how close the match is?
Also, totally unrelated question....but since your transplant was around the same time I am curious. How often are you getting protocol kidney biopsies? I had one at 4 months and another one at one year. Are you having one at your two year annual visit?
