Call your doctor: Three things a transplant recipient must consider with a sudden illness are different from a healthy person. 1. Is this an infection that can cause me serious harm and requires antibiotic therapy? 2. Is the illness making me seriously dehydrated? - check how much urine you are making. 3. Am i taking and keeping down my anti-rejection meds? Discuss all 3 ?'s with your doctor - sooner than later.
