Title: Shooting with all they have
Post by: GoingThere on December 21, 2012, 05:48:55 AM

Well, the situation is that they try to reverse acute kidney rejection. I've already gotten 5x pulses of medrol and 5 IVIG.
Result= I'm off dialysis from Sunday cause creatinine level stoped at 4.6 and doesn't going up.

But now the heavy stuff will come: more IVIG+pulses of medrol+plashmapheresis+ATG.

They are pretty sure that they will be able to save my kidney.

I will update you with my progress.

Uros, It sounds like good news, pretty sure is progress!  I hope you won't suffer much from side effects of the drugs they have planned for you, it sounds like a pretty intense course of therapy.  I hope you are able to relax at least a little and enjoy the holidays. :christmastree;

I got the ATG after transplant, I had no side affects and hope you don't either, just make sure they give you a tylenol and benidryl
