prograf on kidneys...
Hi Doctor.
Does prograf have an effect/take a toll on the kidneys? Blood tests show that the BUN and creatinine levels are slightly elevated. If prograf does effect the kidneys, what measures can be taken to help minimize damage to the kidneys and help protect the kidneys???
Thank you in advance.

rigorous control of any hypertension or diabetes and avoidance of NSAIDS such as ibuprofen, aleve is essential. Trying to minimize the prograf dose while taking myfortic should also be undertaken. Establishing care with a nephrologist early after transplant is also a good idea.
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.
