kathleenla, This is extremely interesting to me. I am 9 years post transplant, and have been off prednisone for 4 years. The doctors are monitoring my kidney, which is to be expected. My only bone issue is osteopoenia . Being female, post menopause, and post transplant are all of concern, however.
You have mentioned that you are back on dialysis.
This is new to me and I am curious. I look forward to hearing from you to learn more about your experience.

Are you on the transplant list concurrent with your wait for the artificial kidney?
Would you care to share some of what kind of encouraging information you received in your response from Dr Shuvo?

Hi, Rosemarya.

Yes, I am awaiting the bioartificial kidney. There is no waiting list because they estimate it will be ready about 2020 or so. They will contact everyone in their database. This miracle will be available to all patient who need it, through their medical facility.

I received a personal response from Dr. Shuvo. I am so happy I am beside myself. I am age 65 also post menopausal. Osteroposis to. I will later.

Bye.
