What Causes Body Tremors After Kidney Transplantation?
My husband had a kidney transplant a year ago. He is taking Envarsus and it seems that he has developed hand tremors that are getting worse. He has been to a neurologist and they haven t found any problems with their tests. Are tremors common with transplant medicine? He has lost some weight and I wondered if the medicine could be casing the weight loss.

Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that Some of immunosuppressive drugs are used in patient undergoing transplant to avoid rejection of transplant . Envarsus (Tacrolimus) is that immunosupressive drug he is taking and tremor is the most common tacrolimus‐associated side effect experienced by kidney transplant recipients. Weight loss can be associated with diet restrictions.
Kindly consult with your Nephrologist for further management.
Hope to have been Helpful.
Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
