I needed some informations regarding Kidney Transplantation and experience thereafter. Can anyone help me? |
My queries are: Yes the recipient can reject the organ as with any transplant. This is why they do not remove the old kidney , they leave it in place incase the new kidney must be removed. With any transplanted organ the recipient is given meds to help prevent their body's immune system from attacking the new organ. There is significant risk for any transplant but then they are only done when the risk of not transplanting means death . The only increased risk to women would be the same as if they needed a transplant and did not get one.... if they get pregnant the added strain on the kidneys could cause them to go into kidney failure. Yes people sometimes reject the organ years after the transplant. I was a nursing student for over a year and we had a patient who had a successful transplant 5 years earlier but for some reason his body suddenly rejected the organ and his immune system was attacking it. These are good questions that anyone considering the procedure would be told about by their doctor. you have two kidneys and can live a normal life on one. rejection is possible with even the best of matches as infections can set in causing the organ to die out. you will be on all kinds of meds and anti-biotics. its not cheap, but under alot of new programs, drug companies are footing the bills on meds. |
