Kidney
New Rash
March 17, 2026
in Kidney
Hi all, my Son is the transplant patient and today he came to me and said he needed to see the doc because he has developed a rash that is spreading all over his torso. I have him an appointment for the morning with his PCP and have reached out to his nephrologist but have not heard back. Just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced a rash just out of nowhere. He has never had skin issues or allergies to anything. He is almost 5 years post transplant and is on mycophenolate and belatacept infusion monthly. My concern is EBV possibly.
Thanks for any replies in advance.

I think seeing the doctor is probably the best bet at figuring out what this is, as a rash could be any number of things. I've had a few rashes throughout my years, for all different reasons.
I'll also add that I did get EBV (no rash with that though), it was caught early through labs and my transplant team was on it. It's completely under control now. You seem to be on it, and focused on getting him seen ASAP which is the best thing you could do
Keep us posted on what it ends up being!
