Hi Hello1234
Thank you for the input on the Tac levels. Also glad to here you girlfriends surgery went well, relieves a lot of anxiety for me.
As far as the BK virus, when I had it my copies were over 25000, fever, chills and creatinine was up, but adjustments to the meds they got it down to less than <500 copies which is acceptable. Took about 4 months for it to be undetectable.
BK is a common problem with transplants so stay positive, transplant teams are miracle workers..

Hi @bobinnevada 😊
Thank you so much for telling me your BK story! That really helps a lot! My current meds are 250mg bid Mycophenolate and 6mg Envarsus XR. What were your meds during your BK ? Are they the same now?
I am wondering if they may add Prednisone and take me off the Mycophenole completely. (With my rising creatinine, I am not sure if it's the BK or beginning of rejection). Thank you again for telling me your story!!
