severe coronary arterial calcification
I am 1 year and 10 months post kidney transplant from a live donor. Last week I had 2 CT scans due to my ongoing bouts of excessive sweating and bouts of fatigue. The results came back normal except for one. This one stated that I had severe coronary arterial calcification. My blood work has always been

Incisional Hernia Experiences
Hello I had my liver transplant on the 15th August 2017 and a few months later started feeling a bit of pain on my right side and also a lump started to appear.

Over sensitive ??
Going on a 3 day cruise in October and just been asked on Facebook if I would like one of these!! Is it silly to get upset - since my husband's illness (not alcohol related) and subsequent liver transplant I'm not sure if I'm being over sensitive or just stupid. My husband intends to take his transplant

Stem cell transplant for Myelofibrosis
After 12 years with PV and then 2 years with MF I explained in a letter to my consultant that were the decision to have a transplant entirely mine it is what I would wish for. I'd been on Jakavi for a year and it had ceased to help. I then went onto the Pacritinib trial which curtailed night sweats

Keep Active to Stay Healthy
After my kidney transplant in 2012, I experienced two below-knee amputations in the next two years. I learnt to walk using two prosthetic legs, aided by two walking sticks. I am encouraged to keep active to stay healthy, so I go on twice weekly walks, one with my walking coach, and twice weekly gym sessions

Vaccines
I’m traveling to Thailand in September and I need to two vaccines: MMR and Varicella. I received my kidney transplant in 4/2007. What should I do ? I remembered being vaccinated back in the early 70s but I can’t find my records. I took the blood test and my results was negative.

Done with Lutetium
I completed five of the six infusions in the VISION clinical trial before I was excluded due to low hemoglobin. The initial and main cause of the low hemoglobin was my bone marrow transplant in late 2017, but the level continued dropping. Lutetium reduced my PSA by about 300 per infusion, in a linear

Jaycee's Journey - continues
Our poor Jaycee is back in the wars again. She’s once again back in hospital. She was admitted yet again last Wednesday. As many of you may know, Jaycee has been suffering with some post-transplant issues. Her body it would appear isn’t making enough white blood cells, and those ones it is making are

Taking 195mg of iron pills a day: did you lose your appetite?
My spouse with doctor's orders around July 8 started taking 195mg of iron pills a day (had been taking 65 mg for months) due to "low iron stores"/low hemoglobin and severe fatigue since February. Did anyone take a high dose of iron for a long time and lose their appetite? HE received his kidney transplant

Kidney transplant
My husband’s GFR was 15 on his last blood test. The doctor is saying he should go on a transplant list. I heard that the immune suppressant drugs after the surgery are brutal. Those of you who’ve had transplants, (or knew someone who has) what was your/their experience? Thank you in advance ❤️

Question: bone marrow biopsy after transplant
The kidney transplant appointment yesterday did not yield good news for my spouse as we hoped about his declining hemoglobin numbers the past 6 months and now white blood count went down from 7.27 last month to 1.59 yesterday. CMV blood lab taken yesterday (last time negative and hope this is negative

Can I get a kidney transplant if I have tattoos?
I asked my nephrologist if I could get tattoos before I got them and he said yes so I did. But come to find out I'm allergic to the ink and keep getting rashes on them so I called to make an appointment with my family doctor but she was on vacation so I made an appointment with the nurse practitioner

Hello I'm Andrew and have just 'Found' you.
Dear Headway, I attend Headway Essex, following Brain Damage, caused by Vasculitis. This also damaged my Heart and, more severely, my Kidneys. I had a Kidney transplant, in July 2013, after four years on Dialysis- three times a week. I attend Headway Essex, twice a week- Tuesdays & Thursdays. Tuesdays
