T-Tube removed in jan 2006 in China .
In the second week of jan 2006 he had a biopsy in Willington hospital London , which shows that he has a chronic ductopenic rejection due to interferon therapy.
Unfortunately his condition did not improve and he underwent his 3rd transplant on 28th Feb 06 in China .
This time we had to do ROUX.EN Y LOOP anastomosis. And also put a stent inside.
His HCV RNA is negative before and after retransplant uptill today.
CMV infection or any other infection is negative post transplant presently.

He is looking well, taking:
Tacrolimus 0.5mg once a day, 250 mg Cellcept twise a day., and ursoflask.
