A member asked:
Can prednisone and prograf repair my kidney?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Prograf (tacrolimus) and prednisone are used as anti-rejection agents in transplant recipients or as a drug to treat inflammation of kidney tissues (glomerulonephritis). They are used so that ongoing tissue damages are stopped while the kidney starts to recover.
