But, still remember: practicing healthy life style with no overindulgence and obsession will help anyone live a longer happier life.

Risks involved: Thank you for your question. All medications can affect how your transplant medications work. Kidney rejection due to not enough medication is possible.

Higher blood pressure is often seen with hormone therapy and that too may cause your transplant kidney to incur damage. Close monitoring would be needed.
