Hi @jp1023 😊
I am a two year post kidney transplant patient. I understand that you are a three year post liver transplant. I had active CMV at my one year mark and now have the BK virus. What meds and dosages are you currently taking? Has your dosage been reduced to fight the CMV?
I currently take 250mg Mycophenolate twice a day and 6mg Envarsus XR each day to fight the BK virus.
Are you taking Prednisone?

Currently I’m taking 360mg of mycophenolic acid twice a day with my tacro. I had been taking valcyte after my rejection in April, but then got the CMV after the fact in June- so no more valcyte and back to the mycophenalate. That made my stomach a mess so that’s why I’m taking the acid. I was scheduled to go off if it, but the CMV came back. Just had more bloodwork done and waiting for results to see the next step.

You have BK virus? I’m not sure I’ve heard of that. Is that related to just kidneys or something else?
