HCV treatment and Kidney Problems

[Guest guest]

Hi Debbie

Welcome to the group.

I have questions.

[1] You say a 'neuropathy' resulted from the HCV TX? [Pain in legs.]

What did your doctor say about this side effect?

[2] What exactly were your kidney problems? Your DX?

Why did your doctor put you on Retuximad?

[3] You said - 'I had the same reaction after only one week.'

Was this reaction because of the Retuximad, or after you started HCV TX with Retuximad?

Did you take the Retuximad with the Interferon/Riba?

[4] What does your doctor say about all this - your kidney problems and doing HCV TX?

Has your doctor suggested any alternative kidney meds that work with HCV TX?

Im sorry your having problems.

Many people have kidney problems from HCV TX, and I would like to know more about it.

I will do research on this topic for both you, me, and the group.

Perhaps others here have experianced simular situations, and will comment.

love

Hi AllI am so happy to see someone finish the process and be virus free..I was diagnosed 4 years ago and tried the interferon buthad a neuropathy, nerve pain reaction in my legs and feet. I had to stop the treatment. My kidneys are in trouble so I tried Retuximad this time for 4 weeks prior to doing the interferon.I had the same reaction after only one week. Has any one had a person with the problem where they tried a different protocol or allergy med with it?
