As for the eighth part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will be discussing on about the post-transplant medications and routine.
It's crucial to report side effects with post-transplant medications promptly, says Spicer. And it's important to keep underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, under control. If you lost a kidney because of diabetes, for example, and you don't keep your sugar under control, you are going to hurt your kidney again. The surgery has not left you invulnerable.
Transplant surgery is a trade-off, Kasper says. But if you realize the surgery is done to give you a better quality of life, it can make it easier to follow all the new health measures you are now expected to heed, such as taking your immunosuppressant medications on schedule.
Be sure to cultivate a strong support system, especially for right after the surgery, says Penelope Loughhead, LMSW, a transplant social worker at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. She suggests having someone learn about your medications with you, so they can be a safety net for you when you get home.
