Anyone had a second liver transplant ????

I am new to the Group, I was encouraged to participate in it by the question about who has already had a second transplant - my daughter's situation: first in 2003, the retransplant now in June 2023. My participation is a request for information on what is the basic Medical Protocol in the USA in cases of retransplantation ?, because I would like to see if it could help in any way in the postoperative period of this retransplantation of my daughter, done at Hosp-A.Einstein-Brazil, 36th place in the world according to American ranking: medicines used (here, Tracolimus is a sacred cow), level of hepatic compatibility cadaver donor-recipient, periodicity of medical follow-up and appropriate examinations, etc, etc. Thanks - mwb37

Hi mwb37,
My 19 yr old son had his second liver transplant through the Liver Paired Donation Program about 7 weeks ago in NYC, but we live in RI. His first transplant was also living donor and was in 2003. Right now he has weekly appointments at the hospital where they do bloodwork, physical exam, and ultrasound. It will be every other week as things settle out for him more. Also, his main immunosuppressant drugs are myfortic, tacrolimus, and prednisone. He is in many others to counter side effects from those.
