@jackie421blfdgurl I’ve been on Tacrolimus for nearly 17 years for pancreas transplant. I also have Chronic Kidney Disease stage 4. Tacrolimus is toxic to kidneys. I have biopsy verified evidence of kidney damage due to Tacrolimus.
@jackie421blfdgurl, So sorry to hear of your OR visit. My most recent one was last October, I really don't want another one anytime soon, Are you okay now?
My check up - it was perfect. Except that I goofed on my meds on the night before my labs, so I had everything except the tacrolimus test which was delayed until 2nd morning. I am so happy to say that everything was in the Normal Range!!!! On our (hubby and me) way out the door after my final appointment, the PA asked me how I was going to celebrate. (We planned 5 day mini vacation) I told her that I was going to splurge on ice cream. She told me that, 'with my good numbers, I could enjoy as much ice cream as I wanted!' So I am proud to say that I followed my doctor's orders! YumYum!
Jackie, Take a look at this discussion about tacrolimus and kidney where @hello1234 is also dealing with kidney concerns. (just click on the link) https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/transplant-tacronlimis-target-range/
