Hi there.

My son's blood type (O+) didn't change to donor blood type (A+) until about 8 months post transplant. From what I have read, some type transitions take longer than others.

Are your docs certain you are not experiencing some hemolysis? Cyclosporin and tacrolimus can cause this, though it's rare. My son had that too. It's called Transplant Associated Microangiopathy (he was on Tacrolimus and switching him to MMF was the remedy).
