Just diagnosed with COVID. Any suggestion for treatment

@codered032 Personally, if I was in your shoes, I would contact my treating doctor who handled the MCD. I would ask him/her their thoughts on getting a Rituximab infusion. [By the way, has your nephrologist told you the reason for doing an infusion?] Are you still on tacrolimus? I looked up information about Rituximab, but didn't see why it might be recommended. I did see where it can further suppress your immune system.
Hope this helps, and please let me know what you decide.

Thank you for your thoughts. I am concerned about many side effects. I plan on having another round of labs taken before my next nephrologist visit. If things are still looking good I am not going with the infusion. Plus the cost $$ is expensive. How are doing with your journey? Many Blessings being sent your way.
