To date, Michael has had two severe gout attacks that have resulted in hospitalization. Each gout visit has meant a direct joint injection of cortizone. The gout is common with the tranplant meds. Next biopsey is in 6 weeks.

Michael's last biopsy was a level A1. This means that there are rejection cells in the heart. The good news is that this is expected now and again. The prendizone was reduced by 2.5 mg for a new dose of 7.5 mg per day [original post-transplant dose was 30 mg per day]. The other meds have remained the same with the addition of alopurinol for gout.
