Hi @bobinnevada 😊
I hope all is well with you! Hopefully, @roxanne12345 will jump into the discussion too. I am a kidney transplant patient. I take 6mg Envarsus XR (Tacrolimis) in the morning and I am normally around 6 blood level for Tacrolimis.
I think I need to take higher dosage because I take my meds with food in an attempt to buffer my stomach.
How are things going for you?

Hello, Hello1234
Thanks for the response. My nephrologist seems to like the level around 4-6 where as the transplant team wanted it between 6-8, so I was a little confused.. All in all kidney function is good, creatinine is 1.08 last blood draw and I am feeling well.
I have PKD, and am scheduled for surgery next week to have the native kidneys removed because of the size of them. Anyway they wanted to wait at least year to make sure the new kidney was stable. Nervous, nervous nervous.
I dealt with the BK virus 3 months after the transplant, they cut the cellcept out for a month and slowly put me back on to 500 bid, got it down to less than 250 and now it's undetectable.
I hope you are doing well after 2 years and feeling well.
Bob
