Thank you so much for all the excellent information @cmael
I can't thank you enough for sharing your experience. You have been extremely comforting to me. There is nothing that can replace hearing from another transplant patient the details on what to expect. I appreciate very much that you jumped in to help me. ❤

Thank you to all my Mayo Connect family for all your kind responses. Love you guys! @jackiez @scottij

Hi there hello1234. I am not a kidney transplant patient, but will be listed for a double lung transplant at some point; that is why I am in this group. I looked up the BK virus and read that it is common for it to appear in folks after a kidney transplant. It can be caused by overuse of suppression meds. Sometimes the suppression meds are backed down some to remedy the problem. Please let me me know how you are doing with this. Wishing you you well.
