Merle Zuel replied to Janet Dittman's discussion 'AlloMap' in the group Heart Transplants
AlloMap is absolutely safe and effective for treatment in heart transplant patients. I am a heart transplant recipient who has relied on AlloMap for testing now for a couple of years. I participated in a study through my hospital and had only Alloma…

Janet Dittman commented on Michael Strane's blog post 'Almost a year - down to 2 medications and 8 pills a day'
Hey Michael that's super. I'm four years now and my meds still go up/down a bit. Yours may too. But that is awesome you're doing so well!

Dave Yish replied to Janet Dittman's discussion 'AlloMap' in the group Heart Transplants
I am 2 years and 4 months post TX. Love the Allomap! I just got a 29-no follow up biopsy. My doc told me that they are finding that if the Allomap comes back good....it's good. If it is high, then the Allomap isn't that great at telling them how bad…

Dale C. Flowers replied to Janet Dittman's discussion 'AlloMap' in the group Heart Transplants
Haven't had that done. I am four years out and doing great. Some folks think I am still on predizone -- been off a long time. Remember to let the folks who rule us know that our kidney tx need more protection (they cut their meds after a few years)…

Janet Dittman commented on Terri Herko's blog post 'Problems with memory post transplant??'
Hi Terri - I definitely had/have memory problems. Read your med labels and I believe some might explain memory lapses. Also perhaps the anesthesia has something to do with it. I do hope your family has patience for you. I know mine had to develop pa…

Janet Dittman commented on Paul Anthony Worthington's blog post 'A new way of performing Angiograms/Cardiac Catheters - A new lease of life?'
Hey Paul.... I also had the wrist entry, but was left with a clot in my forearm (at UCSF). Anyway I do hope things look up for you soon. Thinking of you in California...

Janet Dittman replied to Janet Dittman's discussion 'AlloMap' in the group Heart Transplants
The scoring is 0 to 40 and I started at 30 and have slowly gotten to 37 over four years. Twice now I have had to have biopsy after Allomap, so there are those "false/positives". Luckily they have both been negative. However, did have bout of pneumon…

steve replied to Janet Dittman's discussion 'AlloMap' in the group Heart Transplants
Hi Janet I was on the Allomap clinical trial , i have been doing Allomap for two years. i think the score range is from 0 to 40 . my last score was 20 and i did not have to have a biopsy. I think once your score is over 30 then they do a biopsy to m…

Dick Mueser replied to Janet Dittman's discussion 'AlloMap' in the group Heart Transplants
Hi Janet, I haven't been allowed to have the Allomap test done as UW Madison feels there needs to be more studies done before they use it, however it sure looks to be a good thing. Just a simple blood draw is alot easier to deal with than a physical…

Chris B. replied to Janet Dittman's discussion 'AlloMap' in the group Heart Transplants
Hi Janet. So is a score of 37 representative of a higher risk of rejection? I am sorry to hear you must have a biopsy. In my province they don't have that test yet, so I'm curious about how it works. I hope everything turns out great for you of co…

AlloMap
Wondering if anyone is doing Allomap testing? I just had mine done and I got a score of 37 and now I have to go do a biopsy tomorrow... to be on the "safe" side.

Go in tomorrow for routine checkup at UCSF.... it's a good thing because I have a bit of cold/cough (no fever)!
