Good morning! I was on Belatacept from the start because my kidney function didn’t come up as quickly as they wanted it too after my transplant. I was on 500 mg of Mycophenolate for about a year and a half because of CMV too. I’m back on 750 mg now because my biopsy on March showed early signs of rejection. They were able to reverse the cellular rejection with infused and oral steroid therapy but increased my Mycophenolate to help.
It’s my understanding that Belatacept isn’t as powerful an anti rejection medication as Tach or some of the others so it isn’t the doctor’s first choice.
I hope this helps.
