Sarcoidosis and Ulcerative Colitis cost me my liver. I had a successful transplant 2 1/2 years ago. I still have Sarcoidosis and UC, but will be monitored closely for the rest of my life. My hepatologist cautioned me that since I still have both diseases, my new liver could still be attacked like the first one was.
Plus all the meds I’m taking, hopefully, will keep my liver safe.

I most definitely will keep Sirolimus in mind if I ever have problems again.

Thanks for the info.

With any luck, your current transplant meds (see my handle) may be in the same family of drugs.

Definitely a discussion to have with your doc.
