3: My transplant induced EBV flucuates between 2000 and 12000, largely depending on my exposure to the sun. Dr Fairhead has said my medically induced EBV at 12,000 is not a barrier to another transplant. Is that the consensus in the department?
4: I am on 4 mg of Tacrolimus, the guidelines indicate that it should be 5 to 7 (Reference Guidelines) Would my kideny last longer at 7mg
5: Normal regime for transplant drugs is a 3 drug regime, I am on a two drug regime due to the medically induced EBV. Would the kidney have a better chance of survival with a third anti rejection drug?
6: I have a donor for a kidney transplant, when would the testing for the donor and myself begin?
7: Based upon your considerable expierience how often do you see a person remain stable in my condition?
Do you consider my condition stable?
8: Forxiga 10mg, I was on briefely but I felt confused and bloated after 2 days, generally anxious about side effects. Is there an alternative dose, any other input, strategies, comments on this drug. Dr Fairhead said it could/would extend my kidney life.
