pregnancy post transplant
I am currently taking tacrolimus and mycophenolate, are these drugs healthy for a baby? What have other experienced with pregnancy after a kidney transplant?

Kidney Transplant
😊On Friday, I received a call call from my transplant nurse that I was identified for a kidney coming available the next morning. I accepted and my husband drove me to the hospital 2 hours away. Next day I had the 4 - 6 hour surgery and the new kidney began to work right away. I am less than 48

How to become an advocate for kidney health
NKF advocates have won a number of policy campaigns both in Congress and state capitals across the country - but we're not done yet. We discussed some recent wins and upcoming challenges for the kidney advocate community with Jeff Currey, a Connecticut State Representative and kidney transplant recipient

Another positive beta-2 glycoprotein but numbers have dropped since last test is this normal?
just had my 4th positive beta 2 glycoprotein test. Went in to see the rheumatologist and he said well thats good its dropped from the last test (but its still not in normal range) so no action required because I've never had a blood clot. He has never once asked me what are my symptoms and surely

Urinary Tract Infection
I think I am starting a UTI - usual symptoms - burning, cloudy urine etc. Only just started. Is this more common with PMR? I am taking large doses of vitamin C and I have some D-Mannose. Any other recommendations? I wonder if this is the reason for a flare of PMR symptoms as well - have been stiff

Queen of hearts
Yesterday my folks celebrated their ❤️50th wedding anniversary❤️ and I got an MRI to see if I'll need one kidney out and an adrenal gland removed that have a mass on them. I'll find out Monday morning. I already found out an ovary needs to be removed. It has a cyst on it. If they remove a kidney I will

after kidney transplants
I am 8 months post on 8/14 it has been almost too easy and I am so thankful but my numbers have always been low for a living donor. My doctors tell me everybody is different and no to get caught up in my numbers. I feel great so I suppose if my team is not concerned I should not be either. They have

UNOS Regions
I'm considering being referred to another hospital for a preemptive transplant but both are in the same USOS Region. They are different states, one in KS and the other in MO. The one in KS is closest but the one in MO says they have a shorter wait time AND the website has all sorts of information on

transplant evaluation and right heart catheter
hello, partner due at the royal free next week and as part of evaluation has been booked for a right heart catheter. Has anyone had one, is it awful? How quickly did you recover. He was expecting to have to have one so its not a terrible shock

Treatment characteristics desired by renal cell carcinoma patients.
I am trying to learn more about health issues that are priority for the patients and their expectations for possible treatments.
I am conducting series of preference studies around the APAC region to understand patient preference and satisfaction with the patient care.
