Anyone had a second liver transplant ????

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.

thank you for you respond, good to hear that you son has a privilege of second transplant, I am still under medicine Nadodol and Traculimus every day since 3 years when Mayo Clinic transplanted my liver. For a second transplant, do you have to follow the regular steps as MELD SCORE and waiting list?
