Just found out I need a kidney transplant
Hello, I just found out I need a kidney transplant. I developed kidney disease from taking a medicine that scarred and damaged my kidneys and they’ve just gotten worse and worse. After a biopsy, we discovered that my kidneys are even worse than the numbers show. I am so overwhelmed. My mom could possibly

Creatinine increasing
Hi I am 6 yers post kidney transplant non related living donor. My Cr has increased from a baseline of 1.0 to 1.7(3 mo ago) and today 2.4 My Tacro was elevated 3 months ago to 8.3, but now dropped to 6.1. Is this normal for a Cr? I am scared I am going into rejection. I am waiting to hear from

Home Oxygen is a game changer
Afternoon all! Mindful that it has been a fair while since my last post - much longer than intended. However, in many ways it's a good thing as it means I've got more to update you all on. First and foremost, I'm still on the lung transplant list and have yet to get another call since being re-added

I just had my 3rd round of Chemotherapy ( O CHOP). Doing pretty well, will see 2nd week is usually the hardest. My oncologist was very pleased with how I have responded (ei. Platelets 357 from 1st chemo 10).I also had a port put in my chest last week for easier access for infusion iOS and blood work.

Sorry it has been a while with an update on Ruxolitinib
The last time I wrote to you all was about 2/3 years ago when I started Ruxolitinib. The first 6 to 8 months I was a different person, I felt great. I started to swim, (200 lengths in 1.5 hours) then I started to get water infections, one after the other, chest infections, ear infections and shingles

Elevated creatinine from tacrolimus?
I am 19 months out from my kidney transplant from a deceased donor. Was doing well and my creatinine was actually within the normal range at about a year post transplant. However, since then my creatinine has been creeping up and now is 1.74. Have tried lowering my protein intake, and more hydration

Kidney Transplant help
Hi everyone! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday. I got a call from a gentleman who’s been trying to test as a living donor for me. Mayo Clinic has approved him. We are so excited, grateful, thankful, humbled and yet nervous at the same time. ****Can anyone tell me what they have experienced

New member - Post ET MF (Australia)
I'm 42, married with six children, and I live in Australia. In 2013, I was diagnosed with CAL-R positive ET. I started taking aspirin and managed pretty well. After a spontaneous bleed in my right quadricep, it was discovered that I also had a genetic bleeding disorder, dysfibrinogenemia. After that

Stem cell transplant (SCT) 15 months on
I'm now 15 months after my SCT and in my my recent review my figures are improving:WBC 4.0 HB 139 Neut 2.3, lymph1.12 and platelets 106 ( highest for a couple of years). I also had my CD4 lymphocytes measured and can now come off Acyclovir and pentamidine. Hooray! I hated those nebulisers. This leaves

stem cell transplant survival with MF
This link gives some figures for overall survival with or without a transplant. The headline really is the initial mortality close to the transplant is only worth risking if your MF is quite bad. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7218417/

Anyone turn down a stem cell transplant?
I have post ET MF. Currently I'm on Rux and getting monthly cycles of 5 aza. I don't need transfusions. Day to day I feel pretty good and can do most of what I want. The SCT was recommended because of the risk of progression to AML. I'm finding the decision making to get the SCT very difficult. My

On another subject …
Inspired bya post on another site I’d like to ask if anyone has high risk mutations and has NOT had a stem cell transplant and has NOT progressed to leukaemia? On the other site there were a few who had had MF for quite few years but with treatment were doing ok, and weren’t having transplants, for

Platelets dropped after obinituzumab and won't rise even after transfusion 🚨
Dear all, First of all, thank you very much for all the help and care I have always found on HealthUnlocked. I had my first infusion of obinituzumab and in my case, mainly due to my nephrotic syndrome kidney problem, I had a few problems. High fevers, which are common Attacks of hiccups that last

Momelotinib for Myelofibrosis
Hi, I have been suffering from primary MF for 9 years and have been on Ruxolitinib. However recently I was advised that Ruxolitinib is no longer effectively managing my MF. My platelets and Hb are low and my spleen has enlarged again. My consultant is trying to get me approved for Momelotinib. She
