Coronavirus & kidney transplant
My husband is 3 months post kidney transplant (donated by his sister) and on immune suppressants now for life. Anyone have insight into how coronavirus might affect him if he was to get it? Anyone have any advice?

Immune System Discovery Could End Chronic Organ Rejection.
Chronic rejection of transplanted organs is the leading cause of
transplant
failure, and one that the field of
organ
transplantation has not overcome in almost six decades since the advent of immunosuppressive drugs enabled the field to flourish.

Just now learning my GFR's were low for 5 years.
With the world under a medical crisis, I don't know if I should wait. My GFR has been from 55-64 for the past 5 years but nobody alerted me. My doc recently had a nurse call and tell me about it and ordered repeat blood tests. Twice. It's now 64. I'm Freaked. My beloved sister had 3 kidney transplants

Insurance cover for Belatacept anti rejection infusion therapy. How do I get insurance for this drug therapy? My Medicare ends in 3 months?
Has anyone else had experience in getting Belatacept covered (or not covered) under their ACA insurance provider or other insurance provider? If so, how did you go about it? What was the process? How easy was it to get them to decide to cover it or not? I am going on three years after a successful kidney

The Good Doctor - NOT good advice!
I just watched the March 2nd episode of the TV show The Good Doctor. There was a potential kidney transplant talked about and a potential live donor. He was only 16, but what the "doctors" told him about being a donor was SO over the top, I don't think ANYONE would want to be a live donor! It was

Has anyone had parathyroid surgery post kidney transplant?
I have hypercalcemia resulting from hyperparathyroidism and was wondering if anyone has had parathyroid surgery. I have been considering surgery but would first love to know others experiences.
