Bailie,
They took my father off cylosporine and Voriconazle as of yesterday due to elevated kidney levels. It has only been 24 hours and his kidney level actually went up, but hopefully it's just a matter of time before the level resolves.
Since the Voriconazole appears to be doing little good on the chest infection and harm on his body, they are thinking biopsy at this point. If my father's kidney function improves they are talking about potentially doing a lung biopsy guided by CT, however, some of the doctors are don't want to do it and don't recommend it due to his low platelet count (typically 15).
There has been suggestions of tanking him up on platelets but the docs still are very concerned of a fatal bleed. Was that a big concern for your docs? do you know how much they tanked you up on prior to your biopsy? I'm not sure what your level was at the time of your biopsy.
thanks
