Laboratory and/or medical tests (e.g., kidney/liver function, cholesterol/triglyceride levels, sirolimus trough level) will be performed periodically to monitor your progress or check for side effects. Consult your doctor for more details.

If you have had an organ transplant, it is recommended that you attend a transplant education class or support group. Learn the signs of organ rejection such as a feeling of being ill, fever, or tenderness/pain around the transplanted organ. Tell your doctor immediately if you notice any of these signs.
