Congratulations! The donor had a clean 2 year check up! The recipient had a minor hiccup with a BK ( sp?) virus..tacrolimus was reduced, and infection cleared up…meds remain reduced. Still deciding on Mayo visit for ultrasound biopsy…waiting for local nephrologist to help decide. All else is great!

Hi @tasher3433
Thank you so much for the quick response.... You must be an excellent caregiver! 😊 I am very happy to hear the donor had a clean 2 year check up! That's awesome! Regarding the recepient getting BK virus with a reduction of immune suppression, I had a similar situation. I came down with CMV virus and they reduced my immune suppression (and meds continue to be reduced too). I think it's a common occurrence within the first two years. My immune suppression meds were reduced to 500mg Cellcept twice a day and 6mg Envarsus XR once a day. Is that the approximate dosage that she/he is taking too? (I am also in discussion about my upcoming 2 year protocol biopsy). Were there any symptoms of the BK or was it just found in the regular blood work? How is she/he feeling now?
