Are they  treating you  for   hep ?   I  think  there  might  be  some  drugs  they  might  be  able  to  give  you  for  that.   If  you  go to  an  endocronologist  for that, make sure  they  know about your  transplant  when  giving you meds.

Take  care!

Unfortunately  we  can't  answer  that  for you.  That  is  a question you  must  ask your  Dr.              Each  Tx center has  it's  own  protocol,  and  they  base  each  patient's  dose  on  blood  tests  drug  levels  found  on  each  test.

Have you  asked  them  about your  concern?
Has  your  creatinine  remained  stable  in the  last  9 months?  what's  the  lowest it's  been?

I  would  inquire  about  this, they  must  have  a good  explanation  for  not   reducing the  drugs.

Take  care!
