All other lab levels are WNL.
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. For this reason you should avoid large amounts of foods that have a high potassium content, for example dried fruit, bananas, tomatoes and low sodium salt, while you are taking this medicine, also avoid potassium supplements.
Hey guys I am 10 yrs post liver transplant. Does anyone if viagra is safe. I have 2 docs saying 2 diff things.
and the Creatinine level at that was 1.5 - 1.6. The doctor reduced the tacrolimus dose to .5 mg morning and evening and since then the Creatinine level is slowly increasing. It is now between varying between 2.1 and 2.4. The TAC level is also low and reduced from 4.5 to 3.4 to 2.4 when last checked 2 months ago. Had a biopsy 2 months back and the report was OK.
Pl suggest.
What are the purported effects on tacrolimus? Has there already been a trial or test? Once a transplant patient's biopsy and lab numbers clearly show him heading down the road to fibrosis and cirrohsis, would it make sense to push for trying the new drugs at least the approved ones for non-transplant such as teleprevir and bocepavir? Otherwise the patient is looking at another transplant which would seem to be quite a negative option.

I was initially taking Tacrolimus and then I was switched to Sirolimus. I cannot remember why my immunosuppressive was changed but Sirolimus was pretty new then and maybe my surgeon wanted to try it and see how I did. I wasn't very fond of it as I recall. It came in small packets and was an oily solution. It's been a while but I do remember that. I probably mentioned this to my surgeon and that could be the reason that he switched me back.
AS I HAVE SUFFERED BREATHLESSNESS AND WALKING PROBLEMS,I HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF TACROLIMUS AND PUT ON NEORAL-YET THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT IN MY CONDITION.IS THERE ANY OTHER ANTI REJECTION DRUG THAT YOU WOULD RECOMMEND (I HAVE HAD A LIVER TRANSPLANT RECENTLY)? IN YOUR EXPERIENCE,CAN MY SITUATION BE IMPROVED?THANKS.
I lost my insurance after 13 years post-transplant.
compared to a 70-fold increase for tacrolimus), cyclosporine seems to be an attractive choice for HCV-infected transplant recipients who are planning to use a protease inhibitor.
Any changes to a patient’s immunosuppression regimen should be made carefully to avoid rejection, especially in a patient who is on stable immunosuppression. My personal bias is to continue the current immunosuppression at a lower dose and follow the drug levels.
Membranous nephropathy, a kidney disorder that leads to changes and inflammation of the structures inside the kidney may lead to problems with kidney function. The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. While a low protein diet is advised, other medications may help. If the protein has not reduced, it is recommended that you inform your doctor about this for proper management, additional medicine or dosage adjustment may be indicated.
What/how much are you taking Immunosuppressants and tacrolimus level ? Might be a slight rejection ? I recommand to talking to the transplant team.
it could've also been acute autoimmune hepatitis. do you know what specifically the latest liver biopsy showed?
i had a liver transplant roughly 6 years ago. and 2 days ago i drank a 1 oz shot of jagermeister. will this affect my new liver? im never going to drink any more alcohol ever again in my life. im terribly worried right now. im currently taking tacrolimus medication aswell. should i be worried? i feel perfectly fine though. i dont have any symptoms. if i was to take a blood test in 4 days, will my sgpt and sgot level go high? please help. thank you.
My dad has had a liver transplant 2 years ago, he is on immunosuppressents, namely, Tacrolimus. He would like to know if smoking marijuana would be harmful.
I am taking Tacrolimus 3mg, Myfortic 360mg, twice a day. My Creatine is 1.25 and BUN is 29. I am also interested in your opinion.

Yes, post transplant patients are being treated with the new drugs at least at my transplant center. (U.C. at San Francisco) The patients have just started treatment so there is no data regarding results. Figure at least a year or so for the data to be available. I haven't heard of other centers doing the same but I'm sure some of the other top liver transplant programs are also trying the new treatments at least on a few well selected patients.
in most cases the barely functioning existing kidneys are not removed because this has been shown to increase the rates of surgical morbidities, the kidney is usually placed in a location different from the original kidney. The transplant surgery lasts about three hours. Living donor kidneys normally require 3-5 days to reach normal functioning levels Light activity at home is encouraged and movement of legs is important to prevent formation of blood clots.
