- Hey Mikey! Glad you're doin OK. Yep , the prograf does do a number on the kidneys..Mine are about 33% and dropping. My kidney spec told me that it will not get any better but by talking with my team and dropping the prograf as much as possible, it may not get any worse..hope so.. Live well, my friend!
