Thanks Bala, as I can guess, shrinkage will be function of years + Qty of Steroids + overall health factors... & many more variables, (life style etc)
Any insight into the possible approx. average # of years ..

@l0lag0lag0b3 not all who receive a kidney transplant have to be on steroids indefinitely. Mayo only had me on them only while I was in the hospital immediately after transplant. Ask your team, you might not need them long term. Best wishes
