In recent years, with the kidney transplant technology more and more mature, every year tens of thousands of children suffering from end-stage renal disease (uremia) kidney transplant recipients to resist disease. But the kidney transplant common sense, kidney friends know less still. So, what should you pay attention to after kidney transplantation? What should I do when he is high?

    In fact, kidney transplantation is someone else's kidney removed, transplanted to the right side of the kidney or left lower abdomen iliac fossa to replace the kidney has lost the function of the kidney. Usually only need to implant a kidney, kidney friends of the original kidney without taking out. After renal transplantation, due to the body of the transplanted allograft kidney has a strong rejection, kidney friends need to take immunosuppressive agents for life, that is, anti-rejection drugs. The role of immunosuppressive agents is to make the body to the transplant to the renal exclusion to the lowest level, so that others can kidney in the kidney with their peaceful coexistence. But the use of this drug can cause low immunity, bacteria, viruses and other infections will always threaten the health of kidney friends. Therefore, after kidney transplantation should pay attention to two major issues: anti-infection and anti-rejection drugs appropriate application.

    Within six months after the anti-infection. Infection is a common complication after kidney transplantation. 3 months after surgery, due to the use of immunosuppressive agents, this time is the worst balance of kidney follicles in the stage, a variety of bacteria, mold, the virus will take advantage of, resulting in a variety of infections. The most common are upper respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, herpes zoster and so on. This stage of kidney friends because of low immunity, the sensitivity of antibiotics is not high, once infected, it is not easy to control.

    After surgery to remember life-long anti-rejection. Spent a dangerous half-year after the surgery, kidney transplant after the kidney can be the same as normal return to work, engaged in light labor. With the reduction of anti-rejection drugs, kidney friends of the immune system is also close to normal. But also need to pay attention to the problem of chronic exclusion. Chronic rejection of the symptoms can be summarized as "three high and one less": that is, serum creatinine, blood pressure, body temperature, urine volume suddenly reduced, but also accompanied by kidney swelling and pain, joint pain, proteinuria. Because any drug can not make chronic rejection reversed, so the occurrence of chronic rejection, the majority of kidney friends poor prognosis, only part of the kidney under the guidance of a doctor to re-adjust the dose, will ease the disease.
