The new drugs for hep c have eradicated my disease. I was 2 years post Transplant ( kidney and liver). UCLA treated me with Olysio and Solvaldi. I an now viral free!
I am still Thankful though I received a kidney transplant a year later. Now the only problem is that I might not be able to take the medicine prescribed by doctors for Hepatitis C. I was told by a hepatologist that since I take prednisone (a steroid) and because I am already anemic that these things might cause blood cells count to be lowered even more.
Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Patients with kidney failure should be evaluated and treated for chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder, including renal osteodystrophy. Secondary hyperparathyroidism, in particular, should be treated. Treatment is indicated in the immediate posttransplantation period irrespective of bone mineral density because further rapid bone loss will occur in the first several months after transplantation.

Tristan...I'm a kidney transplant recipient and also have lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis. I like to use natural herbs, such as Turmeric, curcumin, parsley, and many others in my food. Certain herbs help inflammation go down which helps pain go down. I am also into essential oils, preferably Doterra, which helps with some of the pain. You have to mix most of them in a carrier oil such as coconut oil, before you rub it on your skin. Hope this helps!

The doctors put her on Prednisone, though, and now her kidney function is almost 100% again! It's all about treatment. Just thank God that we've got that! Best of luck you. I am sure you have a long life ahead of you.
I work with kidney and heart transplant clients at a hospital, and I work with preparing people to receive and return home after a transplant. At our facility, we generally have people in the hospital four to seven days after a kidney transplant. The person starts on IV antirejection medication, then they are switched to oral antirejection medication.

The good news is the kidneys will usually bounce back after a liver transplant and have as good outcomes as those patients who underwent transplantation without being treated for HRS. Some whose kidneys become too damaged need a liver and kidney transplant to recover their health again.
There are types of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS):
Type I shows a rapidly progressive reduction in renal function as defined by a doubling of the initial serum creatinine to a level greater that 2.
I was diagnosed with MSK 10 years ago and after numerous procedures and ops have just had my left kidney removed due to infection.

I cannot speak for other transplant centers, but the Nebraska Medical Center has a solid organ transplant floor where every room is private. This floor consists of liver and kidney transplant recipients. The heart transplant recipients are on a different floor, and they have a private room, too. Since the person's immunosuppressant levels are significantly lower, due to the medications, private rooms is the standard for transplant recipients at the Nebraska Medical Center.
I had a liver transplant about 15 years ago and it was from hep c from a tatoo...well, I have done great until recently, I have hep c back, I am yellow, tired, feel bad but, now the dr. says I have kidney disease too.

I have lost 43 lbs but cannot even be placed on the transplant list until i have the HEP C and Autoimmune Hep under control. I am so tired and wonder if its even worth all of the money to fight this? I don't want to leave my children with a lot of medical bills.
My husband is 60 years old, 7 years post liver transplant for hep C. Hep C recurred, and the new liver suffered damage--stage 3 or 4. He went through a couple of years of hep c treatment, and has been virus undetectable for 2 years. When his liver failed 7 years ago, his kidneys failed, and never came back. He has been on dialysis since then. He has been in "inactive" status on the kidney list since 2007, and has been undergoing testing to clear him for kidney transplant.
