| Paula | Posted At 09:47:39 04/25/2003 I received a kidney transplant in 1996, a perfect match. I have been perfectly healthy up til now. I take two antirejection drugs. cellcept 1 gram 2 a day and cyclosporine 125 mg 2 x a day. My creatine has always been 1.1, 1.2 all the years I had the transplant. has any body had this problem looking for answers. |

Most of the time they can be turned around with medications. Sometimes even if you've done everything as you've been told, a transplant -- even a perfect match -- rejects. If you haven't already, I'd suggest that you call the transplant center and find out what you should do. I suspect they will want to see you if your symptoms or labwork suggest a possible rejection episode. The best thing you can do is to work closely with your transplant center and follow their advice. |
