Heart transplant surgery is one of the most critical cardiac surgeries that exists. Since the procedure requires an open-heart surgery, it often takes a long time to complete the operation. General anaesthesia is applied to the patient so that he doesn't feel a thing. The surgeon then connects the patient to the heart-lung bypass machine so that oxygen-rich blood keeps flowing inside the body. The surgeon then separates the chest bone, opens the rib cage, takes out the old heart to replace it wi...more

There are many people worldwide who suffer from heart problems (irrespective of their age and sex). While in most cases, the condition improves with proper treatment and medications, in few, the condition is beyond treatment. A heart transplant comes as a savior for such people. It gives them a new lease of life. The transplant involves replacing a heart that has stopped functioning normally (damaged or may be diseased) with a healthy heart (from the donor).

Our heart is basically a muscle. So when this muscle weakens the heart is unable to do its function i.e., to pump blood throughout our body and keep us alive.
The heart muscle gets progressively weak due to a disease called cardiomyopathy.
There are different types of cardiomyopathy caused by different causes. Untreated cardiomyopathy can lead to heart failure or early death. Treatment can t cure the condition but can give you extra healthy years of life and prevent serious com...more

Hi dear friend.
I noted down your history. Here are the few points I would like to add from my side.
1) your pulse rate was/is high because your hb was/is low. 2) now as it is better than before but still you should take some supplements for vitamin b12 as well. 3) consume diet rich in iron like spinach, beetroot, dryfruits, eggs etc.
4) if all the above is corrected and still pulse is high then need to see for other issues like anxiety.
Thanks and regards.

Really there is no clear answer to this. Depends on the person to person. Usually after a kidney transplant, the person is kept on immunosuppressive therapy. That means he or she is get on. That prevent body's immune system. So it is not advisable to run for a long period of time or to do any exercise that stretches your bodily limits. However, normal running can be resumed after six months to one year. Again, it depends on person to person basis and only your nephrologist can tell you exactly.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
The involvement of both general surgery and urology-trained surgeons is approximately equivalent for each of the specific renal transplant procedures. Specifically, for the recipient surgery, general surgery was primarily involved in 53.4% of these procedures.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

If the urine protein–creatinine ratio is ≥0.28, the patient most likely has significant proteinuria. If the urine protein–creatinine ratio is between 0.15 and 0.27, this is an indeterminate result and further evaluation with a 24-h urine collection is warranted.

Creatinine depends on many factors. Cyclosporine levels and everolimus levels n3ed to be maintained in a specific range to avoid rejection and to avoid side effects too. Just wait for some time for better understanding of how your kidney responds to the medicines. Be in touch with a nephrologist to ensure good long term kidney graft function.
