Common Questions and Answers about Normal prograf levels

prograf

Avatar n tn I'm 61 years young and had a full liver transplant 2 1/2 months ago. Prograf levels go from 7 to 13.6 back to 6.5 Could it be the new lab that is screwing up. I take all 52 pills on time dailywith a wonderful hubby making sure.
Avatar f tn The normal reference range for Prograf is 4 - 16 ng/ml. This is so individual that it is hard to know what level is right for anyone without a lot of experience. I think 6.5 is nothing to worry about. I might ask his coordinator if she thinks the gap between this Prograf level and his previous level looks alright. I wonder whether his Prograf dose was the same for both labs and, if so, whether the lab time was different or if there was some other factor present.
Avatar m tn If suppressants are at the correct trouph levels, say, Prograf and Rapamycin, what are the next steps - switch suppressants, treat?
Avatar m tn I take Prograf for the liver transplant and I know Naragenin affects the Prograf levels. My question is if during treatment I also took Naragenin and my prograf levels were closely watched and adjusted for the Naragenin effects, wouldn't I have a better chance of clearing the virus.

Avatar f tn Blood tests show that the BUN and creatinine levels are slightly elevated. If prograf does effect the kidneys, what measures can be taken to help minimize damage to the kidneys and help protect the kidneys??? Thank you in advance.
Avatar f tn you sound like you may be on a bit too much immunosuppression this many years out from the transplant. a lot depends on the prograf and rapa trough levels though. i recommend aggressively talking with the transplant team about lowering the doses of both. not sure frankly why you need to be on both rapa and prograf.
Avatar m tn What is the reference range (normal value) of prograf in the body (peak and Trough)?
Avatar n tn If i lower my prograf lower than 6.5 through rate i start getting discomfort right side .i am having cognitive issues on prograf that are getting very hard to live with, seems like it got alot worse after my last of three mri with contrast in two years. was hospitalized two days after last contrast exsposure white blood count went to1000, headach, fever urine got exstremly foamy, severe itching ,tighting and rashd eveloped on lower legs two weeks after.
Avatar f tn Prograf is a medicine that slows down the bodys immune system. For this reason, it works as an anti-rejection medicine. Prograf helps patients who have had a liver/kidney transplant protect their new organ and prevent it from being rejected by the body. This medicine can cause the amount of potassium in your blood-stream to increase.
Avatar f tn Pentamidine (aerosol) 1x monthly, Prograf 2mg 2x daily, metroprolol tartarate 12.5mg 2x daily, magnesium oxide 400mg 2x daily, oscal, multi vitamin, vitamin d3 1000iu 1x daily. Thanks.
Avatar m tn After starting medication by antibiotic the enlarged lymph node in his neck was reduced but not return to normal size . Now the fever continue at night for about ten days and still we did not know the reason .
Avatar n tn I agree with everything above except that i am unaware of it affecting the levels of immunosuppressive medications. in addition, there is growing evidence that it may be increase liver fibrosis.
Avatar m tn My current dose is Prograf 3 mg AM/ Prograf 3 mg PM and Rapamune 4 mg AM. The intent is to convert me to 100% Rapamune because of the nephro-toxicity of the Prograf and my young age and because of the anti-cancer properties of Rapamune. Data, while horribly limited, has shown Rapamune's anti-cancer properties have had success against vascular tumors such as mine so EHE, in this case chronic, is part of the cancers Rapamune affects (some cancers it has no effect).
Avatar f tn Does hepatitis cause elevated B12 levels? Is there a correlation between elevated b12 levels and Hepatitis C? I noticed that my b12 levels have increased over the years.
Avatar f tn both are normal site, size and shape w/ good cortico medullary differentiation, no cyst, no focal lesion or back preasure changes could be detected. -Pancreas & Paraaortic area: masked by gases, mild ascites and peripslenic collection seen. -Urinary bladder: suboptimal filling and wall thickness with no stones, filling defects or diverticulae -Prostate: is mildly enlarged measuring 34gm in wieght intact capsule and homogenous echopattern, no pelvic masses.
163305 tn?1333668571 Thanks guys for your great information. I'm getting my annual biopsy this Friday so these thoughts are surfacing. My main ploy for liver protection has been guzzling coffee,eating dark chocolate and staying happy. Mike: Hmmm, I didn't know about the increased levels, maybe I should get off prograf first~ it's a goal of mine, with my doc's reluctant cooperation, of course. My last trough level was 2.3 and no rejection in sight. Hector: How do you stay so clear headed?
1644856 tn?1301038801 Will it come because of the fk prograf? I also fight diabetes,which I never had before the transplant.Now I feel like some junkie on pain killers.What do you think of all this? I`am worried about the future.
29837 tn?1414534648 05mg daily of Prograf. Has anyone who had a liver transplant gotten off the Prograf completely? Inquiring minds want to know.
Avatar f tn At that time (i.e. two weeks back) her blood result showed that her TLC has slipped to below normal (which is minimum 4) and was showing as 2.8. Her Haemoglobin seems to have settled around 11.2. All other results including Blood, LFT, Creatine etc show normal. Doctor reduced her CellCept to 500 mg (from 1000mg) and increased PanGraaf to 5 mg (from 4mg) and Wysolone (steroid) to 12.5mg (from 15 mg). One week later she had the tests done again.
Avatar n tn My history: liver transplant 1 year ago, had 2 moderate rejections and 1 mild since transplant. At present time having moderate rejection, recently had one portal stent and 8 Bilary ERCP's to remove stones and sludge and had stenting done, and at the present time there are no blockages. Was on Rapamune (5mg a day) prior to hernia surgery and then week before hernia surgery was put on Prograf (4mg a day) and taken off the Rapamune. I have been on Progaf since hernia surgery (8 weeks ago).
Avatar m tn I believe that the benefits pf statins outweigh the risks and have altered my eating lifestyle so to nearly exclude carbohydrates. This has enabled me to continue statin regime while keeping my fasting blood glucose levels at acceptaptable unmedicated levels. My wife on the other hand continues to take Metformin while on the statin drug.
