Need to be evaluated ASAP. Please go to ER ASAP.
For above symptoms, see your transplant nephrologist. Advised to be compliant with your meds, otherwise you will lose your kidney and back on dialysis.
Could be CMV infection, kidney transplant rejection, UTI - I would take the patient to the ER for full work-up.

This would be COVID pneumonia. Needs to visit ER ASAP.
