I saw yesterday said that the peak effects can take a year to 18-months to happen. I don't think that having the two together should cause any problems (at least immunity-wise). In terms of your kidneys and liver, I'm not quite sure. I know that Imuran works the liver alot, which is why you have to go for blood tests regularly, and IViG works the kidneys. In terms of the two together, i'm not sure...I'd be a concerned too, and i understand your worries...
Sorry I couldn't be a bit more help!

Thanks Nick... I hear you about the double whammy and have heard about the importance of keeping adequate hydration. I keep you posted of anything related to the Imuran. I hope that we both have good experiences with this!
Good Luck Nick!
