So much for smooth sailing... I had to get an emergency chest cath put in this afternoon because I had a reaction to the Tacro (something to do with the red blood cells). Have to have several treatments of blood cleanising starting in the morning (calcium levels are too low to start the treatments tonight). The official term escapes me at this moment as I have been through alot today as this is life threatening. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Most certainly will! You must be feeling over whelmed with it all, rightly so. Please keep us updated.

How often are they monitoring your Tacrolimus?
Be sure to ask for you lab slips and follow along.
We know immunos can be toxic if not carefully followed early on.
I hope you come through this just fine.

Oh, Sax....

I'll be thinking of you and hoping that this will become simply a memory of a rough start.

I was taken off of Tarcro and put on Cyclosporine as soon as they figured out what was happening, but it messed my hemocrit levels up pretty good. I had to have Plasmapheresis treatments and two blood transfusions because of the Tacro. I am just glad they caught the problem as soon as they did!
-
Whew....scary stuff.
-
The official diagnosis was "probable TTP/HUS". I will be keeping the chest cath for at least another month as I will continuing the Plasmapheresis treatments. Scary stuff.
-
yes scarey. No idea about medical codes though for diagnosis

That is scary indeed for a number of reasons, not the least of which that it could damage your kidney transplant if it went on too long.
Let's hope that this is just a temporary setback and that once you're past this, things will be smooth sailing from then on.
