Nephrectomy
I've been doing some thinking. That's a dangerous thing on the best of days. I hate my kidneys. They take up LOTS of room. They cause more pain than they are worth, anymore. I can't eat enough to stay nutrished, at times. My doctors think I can't swallow enough pills in a day. My pulse rings

nephrectomy
hi I’m just after a bit of advice I had my right kidney removed 4 weeks ago it was removed robotically and took over 7 hours due to the size of a non cancerous tumour. I had 4 small incisions and one large one lower down which is quite big! My tummy is still very swollen and sore. Is this normal? I

CT scan today to assess my ascending aortic aneurysm
Just want to know what’s what and hopefully it will just be monitored for now 🙏 Just over a year since I had my partial
nephrectomy
for a kidney tumour so praying I get a year off any more treatment 🤞

Tick antibiotics query
I had a
nephrectomy
a year ago and my kidney function is still recovering although well. Hoping I get a reply today but they don't always respond straight away understandably. Just feeling even more anxious now. Common side effects vomiting and diarrhea. Won't take any until they respond.

nephrectomy advice
My anxiety is related to whether a
nephrectomy
will have a big detrimental effect on my remaining kidney function. Does anyone have experience of similar situation?

Any experience with pregnancy after kidney transplant?
Having been through a lot medically including a bilateral
nephrectomy
prior to transplant, I am overwhelmed at the possibility of carrying my own child. This was something I thought I would never have the chance to do.

I have had a bilateral
Nephrectomy
and my kidneys were football sized. When I started dialysis at the center (which is very caring and professional!) I had really low blood pressure. Since my wife died of incurable cancer I am on my own.. no friends or family...

New diagnosis for Ascending Aortic Aneurysm help please
I had a partial
nephrectomy
last Feb and all is well. No further indication of any spread. Thankfully it was a low grade small tumour but I am still considered high risk.When I got the ‘all clear for another year’ I was soo relieved but then the nurse said the dreaded ‘but’ word.

Cancer/AKI to low GFR
I had a full left
nephrectomy
and they had to remove the adrenal gland as well. Unfortunately in recovery my adrenal artery opened back up (they said they don't know what happened) and I'm lucky to be alive.

Prostate-Kidney and BPH Decision for treatment.
They think due to location of tumor a successful surgery for partial
nephrectomy
is unlikely and entire kidney would have to go. Thanks in advance for advice and help.

Surgery While on Xtandi/Eligard
Do i stop xtandi for a week or two whilst i heal from the partial
nephrectomy
? Anyone with similar experience? I would think that the two drs would coordinate (same hospital) but they seemingly don’t.

Hello, I had a Radical
Nephrectomy
in December 2021; I had been having digestive issues for some time (1-2 years prior to diagnosis; really, most of my life), and misdiagnosed I assume numerous times as Western medicine said "nothing wrong," you just need to get yourself on a LOW-Fod diet, nothing
