Hi @roxanne12345 😊
I am a 3 year post kidney transplant patient. I am now negative for BK in the blood and 7 million viral load in my urine. What are your current BK numbers and what are your reduced med dosages?

I am 9 months post transplant, I still have a BK titer of 141 , and my doctor won’t change my meds. The virus is known to keep reoccurring. Because of this, I do not take any Cell Cept, only small amount of Tacrolimus( 1 mg. Per day) and 10 mg per day of Prednisone. When the virus disappears, I will take Cell Cept again and cut the Prednisone dosage back to 5 mg.
