My uncle's liver is gone and they want give him a transplant What is going to happen?
He will go on a waiting list for a cadaver donor liver. He will get the transplant and live for his expected life-span. If no cadaver liver donor is available, they will treat him symptomatically and try to find a living donor among relatives who are compatible. If none is found, his long-term prognosis is not good. Half a liver from a living donor will regenerate and both the donor and the recipient will have an entire liver after a few months.

What is the normal range of tacrolimus level?
I had a kidney/pancreas transplant 9 months ago. My last tacr level was 10.7, which my coordinator called "toxic." - way too high. It should be below 9. at 9 months post-op, he said it should be around 6-8. Sorry, I don't know what the Low-Normal number is, but it's probably not much below 6. Normal range=5 to 16,it must be below 14 after 3 month post transplant. Ranjan Ravi,belapur,navi mumbai.
