Anyone experience multiple CMV resurgences post kidney transplant?

@hello1234, @caretakermom, I don 't have a Quest lab within 50 miles of my home, so I use the local hospital outpatient lab/testing facility that is nearby, and after my 7 AM labs, I return to the facility midmorning, to get a paper copy of my labs.
I am not familiar with how any other lab facilities operate, but I wonder of that is an option for you? This does not replace the lab sending the results by fax to my Mayo transplant dept. The Prograf kit goes thru the US mail, and that result can take anywhere from 7-10 days to post on my patient portal.
I hope that you both will be at a normal level with meds and labs soon. 🤍

@rosemarya, in California hospitals cannot except lab orders from out of state unfortunately and our local neph prefers Quest because he can easily access. Not crazy about Quest because they have poor customer service and the labs can be delayed up to 2 or more weeks, due to customer load. Also the gluecose lab/A1C labs they run are not accurate they tend to run low. One of the transplant neph said it would be impossible for a non diabetic to acheive, let alone a diabetic! Personally I prefer to go to hospital/UCLA but these places will not accept out of state lab orders!
You are very fortunate to be able do the monthly Prograf kit checks by mail. Mayo Az does not do any post txplant mail order due to patient load I was told.
