I have been on belatacept for almost 8 yrs. It has worked very well for me. I have had no problems with it. I get my infusion once a month forever. I don’t mind having to go. It’s a half hour treatment that takes about 1 1/2 hrs total unless it’s really busy like it will be this Tuesday because of the holiday.

Hi Nancy
Did you start on it or were you on tacrolimus, Prednisone and celcept for a time?
I gave my wife a kidney 8 years ago tomorrow. Unfortunately, she has been on tacrolimus so once day 1. Not surprisingly she now has substantial 30% scaring, blood pressure issues, ...
We are looking for alternatives. What has your experience with Belatacept been like? Are their similar drug related problems or is it less harmful on your system?
Thanks
George
