Fairly new to all this...
In need of Kidneys and Liver transplant, I reside in El Paso, TX. and need to travel to Dallas, TX. for treatment at Dallas Methodist Hospital. It's been rough these past two years, I thought I could do this alone. But I am wrong, lost all my friends, family is trying but it's not easy and cheap. I can

OK - got another question -
Again, I'm 7 months post kidney transplant. My GFR is all over the place. Just. checked today and it is the lowest it has been since 2 months ago. During this first year of transplant, is that normal. Has anyone else experienced this? If you have, what did you do to raise it. I try to eat healthy

GI issues post transplant
I am now 7 months post kidney transplant. I was fortunate to never be on dialysis and had a living donor. Things are going just fine with good lab work and I feel great. I am back doing most of what I did prior to transplant. Now the reason for my question is that the only thing I have had issues

PBC - liver transplant donors and blood group questions
