VO2max vs cardio fitness
I'm new to this site. I'm a 74 year old man living in York, UK. My Fitbit gives me a score of 42 which is supposed to be excellent for my age. Not long ago I had a proper VO2 max test where I rode an exercise bike with a mask on and they measured my respiratory gases. I was given a score of 13. This

Well, mates...I made it for three years with the bladder neoplasia in check, and undergoing BCG vaccine every few months.

Spinal Fusion identified while on Lung Transplant List
Good morning all, I have been listed on the Lung Transplant List for over 2 1/2 years now. They noticed I had the start of osteoporosis when I was officially listed which they put down to years of taking prednisolone. I have recently had another bone density scan and it showed up a spinal fusion? Has

Study indicates COVID-19 vaccines are safe for organ transplant patients.
In what may be the first study of its kind, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have documented the reaction of nearly 200 solid organ transplant recipients to their first vaccine inoculation against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The findings, they say, provide evidence that both the Moderna

Only water fasting after renal transplantation. How long is safe?
Has anybody done only water fasting for over 24 hours after kidney transplant? I had done 7-8 days of only water fasting prior to KT and now have been doing IF of 20/4. I’m also a vegan of 16 years. Is long period of fasting on water safe for renal transplant recipients on immunosuppressive meds? Thx

Liver transplant ambivalence
I took my brother to his hepatology appt this morning (he has hepatopulmonary syndrome as a result of his liver disease). The registrar was great and gave us an overview of all the LT considerations and my brother stared at the floor quite disinterested-he won’t read up on it and would rather not know

Kidney Transplant and Covid Prison
I was actually feeling more like my true self and confident that I was recovering nicely from the transplant surgery, then the covid hit and I have been a prisoner in my own house. The only social activity I have is going for labs and doctor appointments. I miss all the things I used to do: going

There are so many things racing in my head right now I don’t know where to start. I realize that I can no longer go on living with my existing condition. My father recently passed away in October. He was a liver transplant (2) survivor. He’s in a better place. I spent thanksgiving with my mother, along

Finding Support
Hello everyone~ I'm new in the Raleigh, NC area and looking for someone to take the journey with me through the kidney transplant process. I don't know where I can go to reach out to find folks who can volunteer to go down this path. I cannot begin the transplant program without having a supportive partner

Is there a difference between Collapsing Glomerulopathy and C3?
My son, 17, was just diagnosed with collapsing Glomerulopathy after having had a kidney transplant in June of 2020. My doctor told me there is no known cases of it happening in pediatric patients and my son is the youngest she knows of to ever have it. She explained to me that it usually happens either
