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. We tell people that they are not to drive for about three to four weeks, unless the MD tells them otherwise, due to the pain medications and incision site (and general weakness from recovery of a major surgery).
I have no way to predict that. Are you having regular check ups with your doctor, having kidney function tested on a regular basis? The hard part would be to come clean with your doctors, let them know you had an evening of recreational drug use. They can then check the status of your kidneys.
Again, (I know I sound like a mother hen here) recreational drug use is risky for anyone but in your case, it's just not worth it. You're very young and have many years ahead of you.
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.
if a stent has been placed temporarily in bladder area after kidney transplant, is it safe to have sex and 4 to 6 weeks after surgery?
I lost my father at the age of 54 to Hepatitis C on January 29,2010, two years after his liver transplant. I feel for anyone or any family struggling with the disease, especially those with the Genotypes that are least resistant to treatment, as was my father's case. I really encourage people to read about my family's experience with this disease. It is nice to reach out to people affected by this disease.
I think it is a small price to pay to avoid a kidney transplant. My weight is stable under this regimen after years of yo yo dieting. If I can do it anyone can!
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.
s not clear whether your Father had HCV before his kidney transplant or if he acquired it with his kidney transplant. I pasted an excerpt from a Medscape article which addresses your question but it appears not to definitively answer it. It suggests that acceptable liver histology (decent condition of the liver) pre-transplant bodes well for the liver. But then it seems to question this premise with reference to another study.

Liver disease secondary to chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients and kidney transplant recipients. Evaluation of patients with chronic HCV infection is warranted to determine stage of disease and the need for HCV therapy.

My husband has ESRD, has been having home hemodialysis for 9 months, and is listed for a kidney transplant. After he went on dialysis his urine production slowed down to twice a day which I was told is expected. For the last few days he has almost gotten back to his normal urine production.

May I ask why doctors are advising against kidney transplant?? is it due to another illness? 61 is very young and with a transplant she can live very well, provided there's no other illness involved.
For now, tell her how important it is to no skip any dialysis treatments. To follow drs order as far as meds, diet and fluid restrictions are concern and she will do great.
Take care!
