If you know that there is a genetic mutation I don't particularly stop the tach in these patients now if it's an older patient maybe because they're not as sensitive to rejection. But younger patients with mutations and TMA are more likely to reject their transplants. And then switching them to Bella which puts them at bigger risk of rejections more particularly AMRs and then AMR itself is a TMA trigger.
