Hi @hello1234, I am so sorry you are going through this. You have had so many things to deal with since your transplant. I didn’t even know this was a thing! I will be having my 3 year visit late this year and was excited anticipating not having a biopsy this time. At least that was in my mind one wouldn’t be needed. How scary! My understanding is we get them to be able to see rejection and treat earlier to have a better outcome. Please keep us updated with how things go. I will be thinking of you and praying all is well. -Jennifer

Hi @jennifer0726 😊
I am so happy to hear from you!
I smiled when you said you didn't even know this was a thing! Me too.
After a kidney transplant, I would always hold my breath until my first pee to make sure there was no no blood in the urine. I thought if there was no blood, I was scott free. No such luck.
I also thought that an ultrasound guided biopsy would pretty much eliminate hitting an artery.
My assumptions appear to be incorrect unfortunately.
I will definitely keep you posted.
Congrats on your upcoming three year anniversary! Hopefully, it will be a nice, boring, uneventful visit! Please keep me posted on your visit when you have it later this year. (You have been through a lot too.) Hopefully, all will be well for both of us.
Love to you 🥰 My fellow 3 year transplant sister!
