I was taking Tacrolimus manufactured by Accord. I received this from Mayo on 10/17/23: "According to the FDA, if you are taking the Accord product, your trough levels, which is what we measure with routine lab testing, will be unchanged and the risk of rejection is not increased. However, there could be an increased risk of side effects."

My Lymphocyte counts have remained fairly stable but i have seen an increase of about 0.15 over the past two months. Ignorant here but is that expected with Belatacept?

Yes it was Accord .. I had a typo in my mind ... 🙂
anyway Lymphocytes unit is expressed as Reference Range: 850-3900 cells/uL...
The fact that count went up .... it is a good thing...Thanks for sharing.
