THIRD SHOT BEING RECOMMENDED BY CDC FOR IMMUNOCOMPROMISED
As a follow up to my post last week about getting a third shot, news stories caught my eye yesterday that I thought I'd pass on. As a precursor to some who missed my first post, I took it on my own to get a third shot without authorization. Now it appears that the government in the US is likely to

Pimples on face
Hello. I got my kidney transplant a month ago. There are lots of pimples coming on my face after transplant. I think it because of heavy doses of post transplant medicines. Kindly suggest me the solution for this. Thank you

Quality of life on immunosuppressants
The side effects of the immunosuppressants have significantly decreased my quality of life. I felt better in kidney failure before dialysis started than I do now at five months post kidney transplant. I am 49, and I have a healthy diet and I have been pushing myself to get 30-40 minutes of cardiovascular

New study yields insights into chronic rejection after lung transplantation
A study of lung tissue from patients with end-stage bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) as a complication of lung transplantation yielded molecular and morphologic insights into the development of chronic rejection. These insights may help develop therapies to optimize long-term outcomes for lung

Kidney issues post liver transplant
Hi I'm 1 year post liver transplant, but my kidneys seem to be taking a hit. My GFR is reducing at each blood test. It is now 39 and drops by about 5 every time. They've not said if it's now CKD but I'm worried as the internet says 39 is stage 3B. They have reduced my tacrolimus to 1mg twice daily,

'Healthy' supplements are causing a rise in liver injuries - what to avoid
(I have taken this information from a Daily Express article – This is for information only) ACCORDING to new research, cases of severe liver injury linked to products claiming to promote muscle growth or weight loss are rising, with some severe cases leading to patients requiring liver transplants.

Third COVID-19 vaccine dose may prompt response in transplant recipients.
A third dose of the mRNA-1273 vaccine induces a serologic response in 49 percent of kidney transplant recipients who did not respond after receiving two doses, according to a research letter published online July 23 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Ilies Benotmane, M.D., from Strasbourg

Who should receive a 3rd COVID-19 dose according to the CDC
I just received this email from Tufts Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts and it's another confirmation as to who is really immunocompromised.

Has anyone used cordyceps as an adjunctive treatment for kidney disease?
Cordyceps worm mold is widely used in China to treat kidney disease, and some scientific studies indicate that it may reduce creatinine values in patients with chronic kidney disease. I have never found found much personal benefit from it. Conclusions of recent Chinese study: "Current evidence shows

Senolytic combo Dasatinib + Quercetin
Nalakrats has in two major posts shared fascinating insights on senescence and senolytics, drugs that selectively clear senescent cells. I am most grateful to him for this, which set me off on a journey the results of which I sum up in this post. Senescence has also recently been well reported on by

Just some food for thought, and sharing some news
Any opportunity to raise awareness of liver disease should be grasped with both hands, as you never always know where this advice and support will one day lead. For the past few years, I have been helping my 21-year old next-door neighbour with her studies to become a psychiatric, mental health nurse

31 year old facing AML fight.
Evening everyone. In the last few days ive had to come to terms that i will be battling AML. But sadly there isnt much information out there regarding its effects on younger people. It seems to be all info regarding 65+ years old. No treatment has been started yet, still waiting on results coming back
