Just reaching out to see if anyone else has been through this. I'm post liver tr almost 4 yrs. I have high haemoglobin levels at the moment. Doing flabotomy and waiting on the JAK2 test. Team thinking it might be tacrolimus Advagraf. Has anyone else gone through this, and what was the outcome?

    I have never heard that tacrolimus increases Hgb??

    My JAK2 test came back positive. So now I have polycethemia vera. Mixed emotions, dont quite know how it developed, doc says through a trauma,... well I would say klatskin carcinoma and liver transplant is trauma enough to think it was from that. Trying to keep a positive outlook. :/
