[|AI|]  Dear Patient, the answer is: it depends. In fact, the dose you are taking is very low, thus you are on a perfect balance without high levels of immune suppression. Calcineurin inhibitors may be nephrotoxic if blood levels are constantly high (>150 NG/ml) since they cause tubular and endothelial toxicity, leading to tubulo-interstitial scarring, arterial Illinois and glomerular ischemia. At low doses, calcineurin inhibitors are even protective for the monocytes. Thus, I recommend you to continue on cyclosporine, this is an awesome Chat Doctor.
