Thanks! I appreciate anecdotal and testimonial information.I had a buddy that had a kidney transplant right before covid and his doc said no cannabis, smoking or otherwise.Something about fungal infection risk. I'm not a doctor and I have no idea about the specifics just passing along an anecdotal incident.
You need to speak to your nephrologist. No one else can give you advice specific to your healthcare situation. Best of luck.Very new to cannabis as a whole, so I'm wondering if anyone has any personal experience of consuming cannabis products while only having one kidney/ having kidney issues, etc? I'd rather not find out the hard way I shouldn't have played around.
Maybe incase it contains CBDVery new to cannabis as a whole, so I'm wondering if anyone has any personal experience of consuming cannabis products while only having one kidney/ having kidney issues, etc? I'd rather not find out the hard way I shouldn't have played around.
Tacrolimus levels are only of concern in transplant patients. It's an immunosuppressant to prevent rejection of an implanted organ. So raising your Prograf (tacrolimus) levels could possibly be of benefit if it were reliable and predictable but more studies will need to be done.Maybe incase it contains CBD
Cos
CBD may raise tacrolimus levels according to that

Why is an important reason that could change the advice. You should speak to your nephrologist too, sorry.I am having one ripped out in two days.
So I am hoping there is no issue giving up smoking is not in the cards for me......
I've been smoking on tacro for 15 years and it doesn't seem to raise it. The range it can be is a decent size though so I wouldn't notice a point or twoTacrolimus levels are only of concern in transplant patients.

This is why a nephrologist is so important in this convo. I come from
a surgical specialty that wasn't anywhere close to the kidneys LOL (they are really hard to get too)

Where did your other one go? My uncle was born with only 1, covid got him. I see him in my dreams just sitting in the corner of his house with a look on his face like he still can't believe it's over so soon.Back home short one kidney.

I put my back out doing a pile of work and it was not going back in place. After two weeks I went to hospital and cat scanned me and found growth on right kidney. So it came out on Wednesday.Where did your other one go? My uncle was born with only 1, covid got him.

Damn man! They took the whole kidney, or just the piece? My other uncle had that done with kidney cancer and the kidney grew back. But they only took the tumor and surrounding tissue. Hope for a speedy recovery. Head over to my dank doodle thread and request one, I'll get it sent out to you. How's about tweety bird?I put my back out doing a pile of work and it was not going back in place. After two weeks I went to hospital and cat scanned me and found growth on right kidney.

CannabisCrusader's overflowing bean bag
I made way too many beans while pheno hunting and breeding. Classic conundrum. I recently started doodling when I get blazed, so it gives me something to do. I've definitely given away my fair share, but shipping costs are cutting into the fun. 2 flips, and a mediocre drawing. I know, I...www.rollitup.org
