How painful is a liver transplant?
The experience of pain after liver transplant varies with individual patients. Some people have high pain thresholds and others do not. But pain after liver transplant is often much less than people expect and this is attributed to the steroids patients receive following liver transplant. The earlier people get moving and are up and about after transplant the less pain they tend to experience. READ MORE
What medications do you get after a heart transplant surgery?
My expertise is not heart transplantation but a heart transplant recipient can receive medication from these categories: - immunosuppressive meds including steroids - meds to prevent viral Infection - meds to prevent fungal infection - antibiotics to prevent bacterial infection - meds to prevent abnormal heart rhythms - aspirin Other meds are required under individual circumstances. Best to ask a heart transplant professional for more details. READ MORE
How long is recovery after a kidney transplant?
Recovery after kidney transplant is influenced by many factors including the patients state of health, activity and nutrition at the time of transplant, the organ implanted, the complexity of the surgery and postoperative complications, and how the patient responds to the immunosuppressive medication, The time in hospital can vary from a few days to a few weeks, with regular hospital visits after discharge. Many patients who are active before transplant will return to full activity within a couple of months but your own doctor can give you a better estimate of your personal expected recovery. READ MORE
Can you travel after a heart transplant?
Everything after the transplant should be discussed with your transplant team. You will be able to travel but not in the immediate period after the transplant. There are many things that need to be considered before traveling your medical condition at the time, where you plan to go, how long you plan to stay there. Are you going to an area with a very high risk of infection, availability of medication, and medical support where you are going? The short answer is eventually yes but you need to discuss with your transplant team and take their advice. READ MORE
How long does a transplanted organ last?
There are many factors that can influence how long a transplanted liver will last. These factors include the medical condition of the patient, the original disease that caused the liver to fail, complications during and after the surgery and unusual infections in the postoperative period. It is very unusual to lose a transplanted liver because of rejection. The doctors looking after the patient will be able to give a more specific answer regarding the risk of any of these complications developing. The risk of complications in general is higher in the early period after the transplant. But taking that into account 90% of patients are alive with their new liver at the end of the first year. Occasionally livers do fail for unknown reasons and in these circumstances, it may be possible to perform another transplant. This is an unusual situation. There are people alive with their transplanted livers 30 years later. I can only give you a very general response to your question but I can say that in general the results with Liver Transplantation are excellent for most patients and most people should be able to get back to a normal life. I hope this answer helps. READ MORE
