recurring aceties
my son has decompensated cirrhosis and goes to a hospice once a week to get fluid drained - he has a permanent drain fitted . He is getting worried as the last three weeks they’ve drained 5. 7. Then 8 litres. Does this mean his liver is getting worse ? I’ve read that a TIPS procedure could help -

Liver Transplant consent letter & liver types
hi, my partner has just been accepted onto the transplant list with a UKELD of 56 and blood group A (this is relevant as have been told the wait for this group is shorter). He has just had the consent form and agonised for ages over which boxes to tick in terms of what livers to accept. It seems so ungrateful

help with changing hospitals
hi, I’ve been listed for liver transplant in Birmingham. I’m currently being treated for cancer in Liverpool Aintree. They have made so many mistakes it’s unbelievable… They didn’t do bloods for hepatitis and after 16 months of cancer Birmingham discover this is the primary cause. They ruptured

Looking for information
I had my kidney transplant April, 2019. In the last couple of months I have had issues with being so cold that I need a coat or a heating pad. Then after about half an hour, I am so warm it's almost as if I have a horrible sunburn, especially on my back. Is this from the anti-rejection meds?

Long time on wait list
Hoping to hear from people who waited a long time for a liver transplant. Husband has been on the list for 15 months now, and I'm not sure either of us can stand this much longer. He's been called once, about 3 months ago, so at least they haven't forgotten about him, but it's so hard watching him get

protecting against infection
Since I had my kidney transplant 2 years ago during Covid and I’m over 70 years old,I have had to be particularly careful about getting infections. Now that Covid is subsiding and people are going back to normal, I’m not sure how careful I need to continue to be. Before transplant, I had a robust immune

Preemptive kidney transplant experience and results
Everywhere I read, everyone agrees that a preemptive transplant from a living donor is the best you can hope for when you have stage 5 kidney failure. I would like to hear about your experience if you went through transplant before needing dyalisis. What were your GFR, your BUN and your creatinine

Sudden rise in Tacrolimus
I received a kidney transplant in July 2021. Everything has gone swimmingly. I caught a mild case of Covid at the end of July and received a multiclonal antibody infusion. When I went for my August bloodwork, my Tacrolimus trough, which had been running 5-7, was suddenly 9.6. When I did my bloodwork

Amlodipine Side Effects, short and long term
