A Little Advice Needed
I've had my kidney transplant since July 1990 and I've had some episodes similar to the one now. According to my latest lab tests my Creatinine is 4.73 and my BUN is 55 with trace amounts of protein and ketones in my urine. The only other lab out of range was my phosphorus. All other labs are completely

Big week, big challenges
Next weekend I'm walking from Camber Sands to Margate as I look to take on the Big 100. 65+ miles over two days isn't going to be easy but I'm really looking forward to the challenge which will also be a good test for my lungs. It'll also be really good for me, mentally. The pneumothorax really hit

Did anyone watch the heart transplant programme on BBC?
Hey, everyone. I would really like to watch the documentary about heart transplant that was shown on BBC recently, but I'm a bit scared. I started watching it a few days ago but began freaking out a bit as soon as it began - think I made it literally a few seconds in before panicking and switching

A year and four months out...
Was your transplant from a living donor or a cadaver? I remember getting a call from the Emory Transplant Center at about one o'clock in the morning telling me they had a matching kidney and to get there within four hours. This is my second kidney transplant, the first was from my mother.

Can I donate?
Hi everyone. My father started dialysis 2 weeks ago. He is on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. I still would like to ask whether I am able to donate my kidney to him. He says it wouldn't work because we share the same DNA.

Just Had 10th Anniversary
I had my kidney transplant in April 2008. Last month was my 10th birthday for my new kidney. I am doing fine. Most important thing I have found is you need to take all medicines on time and regularly. Follow up with your renal clinic and do what they say.

Wow getting red hair to warn bad news to stay away is certainly working. Saw osteo surgeon again today regarding the initial hip pain and looked at all scan and MRI results. Seeing as I had a bone marrow transplant and radiation 27 years ago, which made me post menopausal, I have really good bones for
