Should a person who has had a kidney transplant drink alcohol?

It means you are receiving a kidney from a deceased person, not a living donor.

It is very hard to find a kidney transplant. In some countries it can take several years before you can get a transplant.

Yes. There are a lot of people that are living today with only one kidney. If someone needs a kidney transplant because both of theirs have gone bad they can receive one from a donor so long as they match. So the person that has the transplant has one and the person who donated a kidney has one. Some people have to due to infections etc. You can survive with one kidney

yes, anyone can get the flu.

whoever has a good kidney they can donate theirs Dialysis or kidney transplant. For a transplant, a willing donor with the same blood type has to be found. This could take years.

Depends on what blood type the person receiving the transplant is. They have to be the same.

You can die but if its not to late you can get a kidney transplant from a blood relative. It will save your life But before the arrangements can be made to do a kidney transplant the person would have to do dialysis because it takes a while to check to see if the kidney donor is compatible.

Usually, someone on dialysis has little or no kidney function. The only way to fix this is through a successful kidney transplant.

Based on the source of donated kidney, kidney transplant can be classified as deceased donor or living donor transplant. Answer: To the question of HOW a kidney transplant is done. The donor kidney will be extracted including part of the urinary tract and vein/arteries. The blood is extracted from the kidney and it is flushed clean. Then transported on ice to where the recipient is. The donor kidney is transplanted into the person in their…

N - for a few reasons. 1) The medication has almost certainly expired. 2) The medicines they give to transplant patients are dangerous and should be monitored closely by a doctor.

There wouldn't be much need for doctors to gave a person a third kidney as the body originally had only two, therefore the third kidney would probably be rejected by the immune system.

The options for a person with kidney failure are: 1. Dialysis - treatment by various means to clean the blood and remove excess fluids. 2. A kidney transplant. 3. Palliative care with a short duration of life. The advantages of a kidney transplant are that the person can lead a fairly normal life in good health. They must take daily medications and have blood tests and consult a kidney specialist every three months or so…

With a kidney transplant, you want all the vascular tissue to the new kidney as possible, to give it plenty of blood flow. When you smoke, it causes your blood vessels to narrow, which reduces blood flow to your transplanted kidney. Not smoking would increase the chances that the transplanted kidney will thrive and function as well as possible. It would not be advisable to use any tobacco product for this reason alone, despite all…

You can but it would be pointless because it would have already spread around the body. Please ask your doctor or a kidney specialist for advice about this. Assuming the cancer is only in the kidney and has not spread further, a kidney transplant can be done. The anti-rejection drugs the person would need to take after transplant may have the effect of increasing the rate of growth of any cancers in the person's body…

Kidney failure results in death in a few days, usually less than a week, unless the person receives a kidney transplant or is put on a dialysis machine.

a kidney transplant is the placing of another persons kidney to take the place of the exiting malfunctioning kidney. The kidneys are the organs that filter metabolic waste product, toxins and impurity from the blood to form urine that is then eliminated from time to time. if these things are not removed from the system it results in the person being poisoned and wil rapidly lead to death.

Given that kidney transplant recipients are on life-long immunosuppression after transplant and that one of the long term side effects of long-term immunosuppression is lymphoma and cancers, especially skin cancers, it would seem inadvisable to expose oneself excessively to sunlight in order to accomplish a mere 'sun tan'. Better to consider one of the spray tan parlors or alternative cremes and nostrums that 'color' the skin to mimic sun exposure.

One of the underlining principles is that a patient can only be defined as "suitable for transplantation" if they have at least a 50% probability of still being alive in 5 years after the transplant. This is the bare minimum for any type of transplant. Kidney transplants are one of the safest transplants there are. This is primarily because your original kidneys are not (usually) removed - it is simply a case of the third…

Yes. It's not common, but some cases of kidney disease can be reversed. A kidney transplant can replace a defective kidney and allow you to live a normal life without needing routine dialysis.

A person can function perfectly normal with 1 health kidney. The surgery will take one kidney out of the donor (leaving one) and transplanting it into the recipient.

Actually on April 3, 1933, Yu Yu Voronoy (Yuri Voronoy) of Soviet Union performed the first human allograft kidney transplantation.

A person with O- blood can only get blood from another O- person.

Alcohol can absolutely cause kidney pain. It is likely the body's way of letting a person know that they have consumed too much and need to stop. Also, alcohol can aggravate kidneys that have stones in them.

A person's immune system is designed to detect and destroy things that get into the body that are not part of that person's body. This works well for germs and viruses and keeps the person healthy. When you transplant an organ such as a kidney into a person's body, then it will be attacked by the person's immune system (rejected) because the body will detect that is is not of that person's body. The drugs…

it is so personal ques ten to that person you should ask to him.....in history there no deviance about his transplant

The person recieving the kidney does not normally require two, so long as the donated kidney is working fully. Usually a "kidney transplant recipient" just means that they've gained one extra kidney (since the originals are not normally removed) - this is the standard procedure. However a transplanted kidney has a life of about ten - 15 years, which means that eventually they may need to be transplanted again.

A person may be a good candidate for a hair transplant, if they are losing hair, or are completely bald. A person considering a hair transplant should weigh the benefits, as well as any negative qualities about the procedure.

a person with damaged kidneys can live a relatively normal life through dialysis and strict dieting until the kidneys are allowed to heal. a person with irreversible damage will eventually need a kidney transplant and will have to have dialysis daily as well as a strict diet until they receive a new kidney.

IMPORTANT! ALWAYS ASK YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE MAKING ANY HEALTH RELATED DECISION. I personally have been a green tea drinker all my life till I had a kidney transplant. My transplant doctor explained the following reasons why patients with an organ transplant should not drink Green Tea. 1. One reason why a transplant recepient takes transplant drugs is to suppress their immune (lower their white cell count) to prevent organ rejection. Green Tea raises one's immune…

Complete kidney failure means that your kidneys are no longer doing their jobs filtering your blood for byproducts/waste/toxins. You can tell that these patient hardly urinate if any at all. As the result, a person will not live more than 3-4 days before he/she will become very ill and die. The only treatment is kidney transplant. However, a person can survive with dialysis for years. This is an artificial machine that physically filter your blood…

Contact sports, such as football and hockey, can damage the last remaining kidney, which will mean that that person will need a new kidney.

To a certain extent that depends upon the definition of "successful" - it could be considered to be "lowest mortality rate", "longest life expectancy after surgery", "most likely to result in a functioning graft (transplanted organ)". Depending on which criteria you use, the answer will be slightly different. Kidney transplants have the lowest mortality rate due to a combination of reasons. Primarily, when a kidney is transplanted, the recipient's original kidneys are not removed. It…

There is a short downtime after a hair transplant. A person may need medication for a few days after the surgery. A person should be able to return to work two to five days after the procedure.

A patient is given dialysis in the event of Kidney failure. This can be temporary event or a long term event if both kidneys are damaged in which case renal transplant is required

People who have kidney failure, which is when 90% or more of the kidneys do not work, must be on dialysis. When kidneys fail the body cant cleanse the body of waste. The persons blood will become toxic and the person will die without dialysis or a kidney transplant. That's just with kidney failure. Of course you can live with only one kidney. Say you only had one kidney, that one kidney would have to…

Some of the "downs" (cons, negatives) of donating a kidney include: A person can live with one kidney but if you donate one, and the other becomes diseased, you'll need dialysis or transplant. Preparation for surgery. Going through a surgical procedure. Recovering from surgery. Time off from work. Additional doctor's visits.

Alcohol actually affects the brain which in turn, affects urine production. ADH (anti-diuretic hormone)is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus and excreted by the pituitary gland. This hormone makes the kidney absorb the water in the bloodstream. When a person drinks alcohol, the excretion of ADH hormone is decreased. Therefore, the kidney does not absorb the water as it should. Then more urine is made. When more urine is made, it is less dense. Because…

The body cannot live without something that does the function of the kidneys. So a person in end stage renal failure, would need dialysis or a kidney transplant.

Usually no. Amazingly enough we can survive with one kidney. Someone who has one kidney should see a Dr. regularly to check bloodwork regarding kidney function.

Don't do a lot of difficult physical exercises and don't use alcohol if you just recently had your operation.

Doctors will take this into account when deciding recipients for a transplant. If there are two suitable patients - one who drinks and one who doesn't - then the mon-drinker is much more likely to get the new liver. Of course they do! But I agree too that if drinker damaged his liver by way of alcohol, and there was a non-drinker, I believe , the non-drinker should get the transplant. Alcoholics have a disease…

Bananas and honey do not help a person when they have kidney stones. You should drink a lot of water. You probably should contact a doctor also.

A person approved for heart transplantation is placed on the heart transplant waiting list of a heart transplant center.

The kidney can come from a live donor or someone who just deceased. In some cases, it may come from a relative or a same blood type person. But it depends. Kidneys can be given from practically anyone as long as they are a close match to you. Kidney transplants generally require a donor(living or dead) that is a close match to your kidney DNA. The close match will help prevent the immune system from…

You can but I wouldn't recommend it. Alcohol dehydrates a person. If you do drink while suffering from diarrhea, be sure to drink lots of fluids, I.E. water. You should up your fluid intake whenever you have diarrhea and/or have been drinking anything containing alcohol. If you do not replace the fluids you have lost from having diarrhea and/or drinking alcohol, it can cause kidney problems and pain while urinating.

Are you the person the kidney is being transplanted into or the person who is considering donating the kidney? Either way, the answer is yes: If you are the person donating the kidney, the greatest risk is during the actual surgery, probably from complications due to anesthesia or bleeding during and after the surgery. While anesthesia is very safe, sometimes problems do occur. Bleeding during and after surgery can be anticipated if you have prior…

The presence of only one kidney should not change the mental status of a person, unless they have progressed to renal failure. In that case their kidney doesn't work and toxins are building up in the blood. In end stage renal failure, the person needs to be on dialysis.

A person with cirrhosis of the liver can live for many years until they receive a transplant. The chances of survival prior to a transplant depend on the person's ability to get treatment. If a person with cirrhosis does not get a transplant, they will die.

The first organ transplant occurred in 1954, when Ronald Lee Herrick donated one of his kidneys to his brother, Richard. The surgery was led by Dr. Joseph Murray, who later won a Nobel prize for developing the surgical technique regarding kidney transplants. The surgery took place in Boston, Massachusetts.
