Renal complex cyst requires MRI with contrast

Thank you @gingerw 😊 I appreciate your information and experience with both the MRI contrast and your complex cyst!
I think I am going to need to discuss all the pros and cons with transplant. I am pretty sure that once you have a transplant, they feel confident that your GFR and kidney function can handle the contrast with no adverse effects. But with my recent diagnosis of BK virus and mild calieltasis, the contrast idea is really worrying me.
Thank you again for always being there for me Ginger! I will definitely keep you posted.

Wow, @hello1234, you are sure going though a lot right now! Thinking of you, and hoping everything works itself out soon so you can relax. Did all of this show up at your two year biopsy appointment? I would definitely ask your tx team about the contrast. In July I had a CT with contrast for the first time in a long time and the ER doc did consult with Mayo. They just had to hydrate before and after. I didn’t have any known side effects, except the expected weird feeling when they inject it. On the complex cyst, if I were in your place I would want to find out if possible. I do know anyone can get simple cysts, but being that it complex I would expect them to be following it carefully. When will they re-test for BK? Please keep us posted about what happens. Do you need to go back to Mayo regarding the cyst?
