Xenotransplantation of pig heart
Hello everyone. I’m sure we have all read about the recent pig kidneys transplanted into humans successfully. Well, it appears it’s been done again but this time it looks like a heart transplant was done. It’s too early to tell, but this case here seems to be more beneficial towards making it a reality

Happy to be here!
With everything that's been going on with my lung disease over the past few years, I often forget just how fortunate I am to still be here. In September 2003 I was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia at the age of 18. I was totally blindsided and the future looked bleak. The amazing treatments

New, targeted therapy inhibits specific immune cells associated with lupus nephritis
'Intervention targets T cells rather than multiple immune cell types," Prof. Chaim Putterman says. Lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus), an autoimmune disease in which the body recognizes and attacks its own tissues, can affect many organs, including the kidneys. About fifty percent of patients diagnosed

Did any kidney transplant people have high antibodies
Hello I’m on the transplant list I was hoping to get a transplant before dialysis but don’t know if it will happen . I had one offer that didn’t work out I found out then I am going to be hard to match cause I have high antibodies. I wasn’t even aware there was such a thing. How long did you wait before

Shaking
I received a kidney transplant in 2008. For the last few months I have been shaking a lot especially my hands. Taking 4 mg. of Prograf. Doctor increased it because level was low on blood test. Has anyone experienced this kind of shaking? Thanks

New Year, new lungs?
Entering 2022, I'm not disappointed to be waving goodbye to 2021. Covid ruled over us all in the early part of the year and then reared its ugly head again at the end of the year to add further anxiety and stress. However, for someone who up until March was having to shield, in reality it never really

FRUSTRATED ON INACTIVE LIST
Georgia has one of the longest wait times for
organ
transplants in the country! Oh, and unfortunately, the Humana
Transplant
Coordinator who used to approve the insurance left her job and went to a different division of Humana. I cannot find out who took her place (she was GREAT!).

Had my third kidney transplant
Hello everyone:) Happy Holidays! 2 weeks ago I received the phone call that they had a kidney for me ..this was very unexpected because I had been told throughout the whole pre transplant process that I would have a living donor through the paired exchange program. My husband would donate to someone

Cold medicine
I’m a kidney transplant recipient. I received my kidney 16 months ago. What OTC meds can we take for a head cold?

I have had enough
This is Randy I had my Mohs procedure Thursday. 60 stitches in my temple, 30 stitches in my arm. Squamous carcinoma cancer from the Sun. Doctor told me cancer on my temple is very aggressive may come back. That really bothers me. I hope that no one has to go through this. So far this year I have had
