Lots of worry, was sat down and told I would loose it etc. In the end they put a stent in which opened the vein up and problem solved! Anyway, if its any consolation I'm 8 years post transplant and ki...

Or...maybe I`m clutching at straws...after the first six (awful) months my transpla...

Hello my son had exactly the same thing at the same age. When he was nine we found outhad one kidney that was atrophied and one that was large to compensate, this was caused by urinary reflux. The attitude in the hospital (in York) was to leave it alone unless it went wrong. He was placed on long te...

Blood shot eyes
Hi everyone, I hope you are all well. I`m finding that when I rub my eyes or sneeze or just about anything that the whites of my eyes will go bright red! This happens about 2-3 times a month and lasts a couple of days. No pain or anything like that but, boy does it make me look weird! Anyone else ha...

I take 7.5mg. I`m allergic to azathriopine so I`m stuck with the steroids :cry: I`m on no additional meds at all. I was told that as they are enteric coated and I have to them with food then I would have no side effects. I`m seven years post transplant and have had no side effects so I guess they ma...
