I needed some informations regarding Kidney Transplantation and experience thereafter. Can anyone help me?


Question:
My queries are:

(i) How much is it safe to undergo transplantation esp. for womens?
(ii) Is it true that there is a chance of rejection of the adopted kidney? Is that risky?
(iii) What precautions one needed to adopt after transplantations and how long do you need to be under strict restrictions? What are the kind of restrictions?
(iv)Is it true that one can never lead a normal life after transplantation and needed to follow hyper hygenic life ever after unlike nomal people?
(v) Does one need to ne under medicine throughout Life even after Transplantation? Are those medicines very expensive?
(vi) Does life really changes after transplantation? How much and how long?
(vii) When is it right to assume that the operation has been sucessful as I have heard that ppl may die even 2/3 years after the transplantation operation due to unsucessful operation,is that true?

Have a Blessed week.

Answers:
Yes the recipient can reject the organ as with any transplant. This is why they do not remove the old kidney , they leave it in place incase the new kidney must be removed. With any transplanted organ the recipient is given meds to help prevent their body's immune system from attacking the new organ. There is significant risk for any transplant but then they are only done when the risk of not transplanting means death . The only increased risk to women would be the same as if they needed a transplant and did not get one.... if they get pregnant the added strain on the kidneys could cause them to go into kidney failure. Yes people sometimes reject the organ years after the transplant. I was a nursing student for over a year and we had a patient who had a successful transplant 5 years earlier but for some reason his body suddenly rejected the organ and his immune system was attacking it. These are good questions that anyone considering the procedure would be told about by their doctor.

Other Answers:
you have two kidneys and can live a normal life on one. rejection is possible with even the best of matches as infections can set in causing the organ to die out. you will be on all kinds of meds and anti-biotics. its not cheap, but under alot of new programs, drug companies are footing the bills on meds.
