Cyclosporine and Kidneys
Sorry if this is a repeat. Karin had hATG a couple of weeks ago and they started her on Cyclosporine. But she has had scary kidney function numbers in blood tests (e.g. eGFR of 25, should be > 90) and her hematologist has taken her off the Cyclosporine. Which bothers us because CsA is part of the protocol (Karin has SAA and 95% PNH clone) and we are concerned it might not work. We see a nephrologist (kidney specialist) on Tuesday. I have read an abstract that suggests the kidney function impairment with Cyclosporine is partial (still good urine flow and other things, just high creatinine and BUN), and reversible. Have any of you had this problem and been able to get back on the Cyclosporine with some regime to keep the kidneys from totally failing??

Reason: "resolved" in abstract maybe opposite of common use
