Newer Kidney Issues to Discuss?

I'm glad I found this thread. I have AA and PNH and may need ATG/cyclo in the future. I've already had Acute Renal Failure (ATN) from a combo of chronic long term hemolysis and an episode of food poisoning. Luckily GFR went from 15 back up to 59. Avoided dialysis. More recently 51 to 46, variable, creatinine now 1.1.

So obviously I'm wondering if my kidneys will be able to handle cyclo and for such a long time. Will be following anyone's issues with kidneys while on cyclosporine. I want to know more about how worsening renal function is handled during treatment.

Please keep posting about any kidney events on Cyclo and helpful insights into kidney concerns coming!
