I don't understand why different hospitals have different drug routines? I assume from what I've read on here and on other sites that MMF is safer than Azathioprine so why isn't everyone on that as standard? I've been on Azathioprine for 8 years (2 years post-transplant) and I'd never even heard of ...

My consultant recently told me that the reason my creatinine was higher than average post-transplant was due to my father being quite a bit older (He's 66 and I'm 30) when he donated to me last year. This is something that was never discussed pre-transplant, and although I'm not unduly worried, it i...

Sorry about that! Thanks, Amanda.
Hopefully the link will work now, although it's pretty much the same as your article! http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 161253.htm

Model to Replace Diaylsis Revealed
Groundbreaking stuff! And to think there could be clinical trials in five to seven years. Incredible.

Cramp in Transplant Site
Has anyone suffered from cramp in their tranplant site? I had my transplant well over a year ago but occasionally get really horrible cramp, usually when I'm bent over. It's not that painful, just a really strange sensation. I have to stretch around to get rid of it. I assume it's because muscles ar...

Fanastic! My consultant has been pioneering a young peoples clinic which takes the patients out of the usual hospital situation and enables them to chat among themselves. Although I don't attend that particular clinic, I go along as peer support. The group I have been to already has been hugely bene...

Oh, Pam. I hope I didn't scare you. The only reason my bout was so bad was because my local hospital only has a teeny renal unit that is closed out of hours and the emergency services didn't have a clue what to do with me. Plus, I didn't know what was going on either, not really knowing anything abo...

Kipper - we experienced almost exactly the same thing! I didn't have fluid in at the time because of joyful constipation problems. It was hours until I got the antibiotic so the hospital tried to get me to do an exchange in the meantime. My God, that was horrific, both draining in and out. It was od...
