Question 1

what are the symptoms for kidney rejection

Accepted Answer

Kidney rejection: i guess you are talking about rejection of a transplanted kidney. The symptoms can be variable and may range from totally "no symptom" to severe pain in the area of transplant with fever and blood in urine. If you are a kidney transplant recipient and suspecting a rejection, see your transplant nephrologist ASAP.

Question 2

what are the symptoms for chronic kidney rejection?

Accepted Answer

Rejection: There are no symptoms of chronic rejection. Until the kidney function drops below 15 cc/ ml you may not have symptoms. In some patients if they stop all their meds they can feel pain at the transplant site and hematuria. Chronic rejection is diagnosed via a biopsy and blood work.

Question 3

what does "hypersensitivity to rejection" mean? symptom of sad

Accepted Answer

SAD is depression: triggered by the darkening days of late fall and winter.  Less sunlight is a major factor.  Hypersensitvity to rejection  means that one can over-react to rejection or perhaps see it when it is not there.  When we are depressed this is more likely to occur so please keep that in mind.  Peace and good health.

Question 4

what signs and symptoms indicate organ transplant rejection?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the organ: In general, acute rejection of any transplanted solid organ can cause fever, chills, tiredness, weakness, and poor appetite.  Each specific organ may become tender and swollen, and the function of each would diminish.

Question 5

can you give me some symptoms of spinal fusion hard wear rejection and or infection?

Accepted Answer

Fever, Chills, drain: Signs of infection after spinal fusion surgery are similar to other signs of injections, namely fevers, shaking chills, swelling, redness or drainage from your incision.  Rejection of spinal hardware does not exist  and with these symptoms, infection must be suspected.

Question 6

cadaver bone graft rejection symptoms in ankle?!? can this happen and what are the signs and symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Bone graft materials are not living tissues, rather they are processed bone fragments or powder and function only to allow ingrowth of new bone following a procedure.  In this case, the bone is not antigenic and thus not prone to rejection (theoretically possible, but very unlikely).  I would think that if you are having problems, you should see your orthopedic surgeon to assess the healing status

Question 7

what are symptoms of a titanium allergy from implant?

Accepted Answer

Rare: Titanium allergy is rare.  Usually other metals cause these implant allergies.  If you have redness and pain starting several weeks after an implant see your dentist or surgeon and seek their cooperation with an allergist to best diagnose and treat this situation.

Question 8

can i get pregnant on the implant  i've been on it four years but i've started getting symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Can happen any time: You can actually get pregnant  while the implant is in place, but chance is very low(less than 1%). So, if you have any sign/symptoms of pregnancy such as morning nausea, check a hpt. I am not sure what you have specifically, but often these implants work fo about 3-5 yrs. Consult doc for eval because if you are not planning on getting pregnant, it is time to plan for a new implant. Good luck.

Question 9

how do you know whether the implant is not working? i feel like i have all the symptoms for pregnancy.

Accepted Answer

Home Pregnancy Test: Whenever you have concerns about a possible pregnancy, it is best to take a pregnancy test.  If negative and you have symptoms that concern you, see your doctor. If positive - see your doctor!

Question 10

wondering if there are any symptoms associated with an expired implanon implant? mine is one year overdue

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy possible: If the Implanon is in place longer than the typical 3 years, it may have exhausted its supply of hormone. So pregnancy is a possibility. Some sources cite a 4 year duration for contraception. Aside from that, the only other concern is having a foreign body under the skin.  Btw, Implanon is no longer available in the us.
