Question 1

can i get a tattoo after kidney transplant?

Accepted Answer

Why risk it?: I don't see why not, with the exception of potentially contracting an infection from improper technique/cleaning of instruments; and while being on immunosuppressive agents not something you want to have happen.  Double check with your doctors/transplant docs to be sure...But why risk it?  Why not try a 'fake' tattoo; same eye appeal without the risk.

Question 2

got a tattoo had a kidney transplant 4 years ago was it okay to get one?

Accepted Answer

Get which?: Tattoo or transplant?
Since both are in past tense, it's probably a bit late to ask the question?
Now, assuming you're on immunosuppressant(s) for the transplant, the only risk for tattoo is getting an infection like hepatitis C which your body may not handle as well.
If you're asking if it's ok to have gotten kidney transplant - I presume it was urgently needed given the type of procedure it is

Question 3

after a kidney transplant   i can't get an erection?

Accepted Answer

IMPOTENCY: Often timed the disease that caused end stage renal state effects the flow and erectile function. There are many viable options for treatment

Question 4

what to do if i have o negative blood can i still get a kidney transplant?

Accepted Answer

Certainly: Unfortunately donor pool will be much smaller than if you were rh +ve.Any chance there is relative with o-ve blood type who might donate. Another option can be arranged via some organ banks, whereby a potential donor with non matching blood type or tissue match can be matched to third party who also has a non-matching donor, but their donor matches you & your donor matches them.

Question 5

i got kidney transplant in 2010, last month it was rejected, had 10 plasma xchange n 2 dose of rituximab injection, now its normal, when i can get concive?

Accepted Answer

Fairly risky: Pregnancy is possible for a female kidney transplant recipient whose kidney function is good and stable. Yet, it is still considered a high risk pregnancy for both the mother and the fetus. Although you may be capable of conceiving now, it would be unwise to do so until your function stablizes at a good level for at least 6 - 12 months.

Question 6

kidney transplant failed can i get another?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes. Discuss this with your kidney doctor.

Question 7

what are the shots a kidney transplant person should not get?

Accepted Answer

The live-virus shots: Immunosuppressed persons usually should not get the live-virus vaccines, but one has to talk with her doctors about each vaccine being considered. Live-virus vaccines include shingles vaccine, chicken pox vaccine, measles mumps rubella vaccine, etc...

Question 8

i always think im gonna go ill or get illl it just scares only felt like this since i had my kidney transplant in 2001?

Accepted Answer

Don't : The point of a transplant is to life life. You had your transplant in 2001 and I am presuming you have not been ill. This is 14 yrs!  Risk of infection goes down. Just be sensible in what you do, go about life and enjoy your life. Even if you get an illness most can be dealt with, so enjoy and take your meds. Happy that your kidney is 14 yrs old and am sure you can get many more out of it !!

Question 9

is it suggested i get abo incompatible kidney transplant?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: With appropriate treatment this is  possible, the higher risk of rejection and medication side effect must be balanced against the risk of missing a chance at transplant. It might not come again for a while. Review with your transplant team.

Question 10

can a 76 year old man get a kidney transplant? is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The question needs to be answered by the nephrologist seeing him and the willingness of the surgeon to do the procedure. Much depends on the overall health of the person.
