Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Levels are high, but still manageable.
2. As the kidney is not functioning, you will need to go for dialysis in future.
3. As you have stopped cellcept, there is a possibility of more renal damage, occurring, which in future will make requirement of dialysis or another transplant compulsory.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
