Accepted Answer

Love yr Second life: First: it is illegal. Second: posttransplant means u r taking multiple medications such as immunosupressants to protect the kidney from rejection, thus these meds affect liver and kidneys over time.

Good luck.

are there additional risks associated with taking lsd post kidney transplant ?

Accepted Answer

You're not kidding?: LSD toxicity can lead to respiratory arrest, coma, emesis, hyperthermia, autonomic instability, and bleeding disorders. In some cases, the patient's altered perceptions can result in behavioral toxicity, in which an individual fails to appreciate dangers in the environment and may be injured (like failing to take anti-rejection drugs).

Question 7

24 hrs post kidney transplant the graft not functioning. ultrasound showed a subcapsular hematoma, but no surgical removal was done. options?

Accepted Answer

Ask the doctor,...: What you reported-24 hrs-could be still normally expected although we like to see the transplanted kidney starts to make urine right away. So, I am quite sure it deserves a close watch and see. At times, a period of dialysis may be still needed, but the longer no urine with rising BUN and creatinine, the less to hope good outcome. For individual situation, please ask the transplanted surgeon.

Question 8

i4 years post kidney transplant.  2 weeks post c-diff (had it 3x since october)  was on vancomyocin.  now uti , (citrobacter) macrobid but didn't work?

Accepted Answer

Resistant infection?: successful treatment of infections with citrobacter relies on results of culture and sensitivity profile of the organism. These bacteria are frequently resistant to multiple antibiotics . With your transplant status, assessment of infection has to be careful because your immune system is possibly impaired by the anti-rejection meds. There is a higher rate of virus , and unusual bugs causing issues

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Call his doctor!: Please call his doctor!I'm not sure where you are located,but he may need to be seen at the hospital. I understand your concern about exposure to Covid but with his history, he needs to be evaluated,first by phone or telehealth by his doctor,but likely in person.He may have a serious infection, that can only be evaluated in person.We cannot do that on this part of the platform. Don't wait-call!
