BK virus after kidney transplant
If this keeps increasing it make eventually leak into the kidney and hurt it, and there is no effective way to fight the virus except tapering down the
immunosuppressants
to wake up immune system a little bit. This could hurt the new kidney as well if rejection happens.

Bone fracture and immunosuppressants
Hello. I fell three days ago and fractured a shoulder bone. My question is, does a bone fracture take longer to heal when you’re on 7.5 mg of prednisone and 150 mg of azathioprine? I had six cycles of cyclophosphamide (last one the 30th of October) and have been using prednisone for about two years but

Risks of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Post-Transplant
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy will be recommended to some post-transplant patients to improve slow wound healing, especially if they have indolent diabetic ulcers which take a long time to heal. However, one study has shown that hyperbaric oxygen treatment may have negative effects when combined with a

Long-Term Ibrutinib Therapy Reverses CD8+ T Cell Exhaustion in B Cell CLL
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) is associated with immune suppression and susceptibility to infection. CD8+ T cell numbers are increased and demonstrate elevated expression of PD-1 and impaired function. The mechanisms driving these features of exhaustion are uncertain but are likely to include chronic

Happy 2020!!
Because of the steroids and the
immunosuppressants
you heal slowly after your major surgery of a transplant. It also takes your body awhile to adjust to your new meds.

Azathioprine as preventive measure for 20 year stable lung fibrosis in SS??
I stopped immunosuppression 2001 and have no progression of my pulmonary fibrosis at all. Now my new doc wants to put me back on a low dose of azathioprine as a preventive measure, to slow down future progression. I have high titre 1:1280 but remain asymptomatic. My lung tests and TAC show no changes

New Antibodies to the kidney
She is also going to order some more tests and depending on the result she may need to give me more
immunosuppressants
- through IV. This worries me for sure. Anyone here had to go through something similar?
