I was never given Bactrim cause I am allergic to Sulfa but I was bothered with frequent bladder infections while on CTX for several months and it had to be held often when my WBC got too low. Extra protections like isolation and sterile precautions were often used too during those periods to try reduce the risk of infection. I was treated several times too with various antibiotics.
My kidneys and lungs were both hard hit and I needed a couple weeks intubation and umpteen plasma exchanges and both IV RTX and CTX and got very close to needing dialysis but things finally turned around (I survived) and in a few years I recovered to near normal kidney function labs even though I only have 40- 50% normal function. People have redundant kidney function built in as only one is needed to maintain normal kidney function labs.
Younger people also tend to rebound and recover quicker and better than us old seniors too. Youth is an asset in recovering from GPA (Wegs).
