Immense sweating

[Dara3351]

I am 2 yes 9 months post kidney transplant. Has anyone had issues with immense sweating that your hair is sopping wet? I thought it could be my thyroid but that’s not it. Apparently my blood work is stable. I’ve asked the transplant team, nephrologist and an Endochronogist….. no answers. I am wondering if it has anything to do if I have a UTI infection?

Hi there! Yes I have had intense flushing and sweating… I was told that they can’t prove it’s Tac but it seems to get better the longer you have the kidney (lower levels).Dare I say it… could your age be a factor?

It is for me.

Hi, yes sadly had it for quite some time after my transplant. Most embarrassing and uncomfortable but it did ease over the first few years (yes, sorry years) had my thyroid etc checked but nothing showed up.I’m now 32 years post transplant and am now enjoying the other hot flushes ladies get to enjoy!! Xx

Hi Dara. You may want to submit your medications for review by your transplant pharmacist. My husband had intense flushing/perspiration as well as itching from the drug Dapsone which was prescribed as a preventative for pneumonia. His doctors thought it was nothing, but the pharmacist figured it out quickly. While these symptoms are "lesser known" symptoms, they do happen with this drug and perhaps others. It's worth checking out. I truly hope you find a solution!
