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)
