1st Pregnancy




1st Pregnancy

I was so exciting to see 2 lines on the pregnancy test. TO make sure, I do another test and the results are the same.
It is quite exactly as our plan. When we decide to have a family and to a new member add to our family. Our baby is the most favorite for every couple. We have been married for a year and my transplanted kidney is working excellent. My Creatinine is in the good range. My condition is stable.
I have consulted with my renal consultant and I receive the green light to go for it. However, I have not known any transplant woman in our hospital have a baby after kidney transplant at all. I asked my renal consultants, but have not got any answers. It may be they want privacy or nobody wants to talk about it. As we all know only one kidney to save our life in order for us to live normally still hard, don’t you dare to think about support another person’s life.
I try to search the internet, read some research about pregnancy in kidney transplant. However, I cannot find anything really relate to the topic, I am looking for. It may be because a number of women have a transplant is less or a number of women who at the age of productive is less or transplant woman who at the age of able to produce and be healthy enough to try for a baby is less or whatever. As we always know that most of kidney end stage failure before transplant, some develop from diabetic before progressing to kidney failure. Also, it can go in another direction of having a kidney disease first and progress to others.

Change of Medication



Change of Medication


 

The process to be ready for pregnancy, the suppress immunization medication has to be safe for baby. Therefore, the period of the recent change type of medicine over, I have to see the renal consultants to check my Creatinine and other kidney function whether it is responding well to the new medication.
This will take about 6 months. In the beginning I will go to the clinic every two weeks, a month, two months and three months. I have to wait the renal consultants are happy with my kidney function with new blood and overall health check results before they can give me a green light to go ahead for the baby plan.

Transplant Procedure




The Transplant Procedure

The transplant receives a kidney from a living donor, this will be a carefully planned operation. 

A kidney transplant is a major surgical procedure with a wide range of potential risks. In the short term, these risks include blood clots and infection. Longer term problems, which include diabetes and an increased risk of infections, are usually related to the immunosuppressant medication that needs to be taken continuously to reduce the chance of rejection.

I would then have surgery to insert the new kidney and connect it to my blood vessels and bladder. The new kidney will be placed in the lower part of my abdomen (tummy). My own kidneys will be left in place.
Because of the risk of further problems, people who have had a kidney transplant require regular checkups for the rest of their life. Ater 14 years, I have a routine checkup every 6 months.

Kidney transplant matching Process





Kidney Transplant Matching Process

My sister and I have lived together for 6 months while she has to do exercise and look after me while I was on dialysis.
Unlike many other types of organ donation, it is possible to donate a kidney while you are alive because you only need one kidney to survive. This is known as a living donation.
People who want to be considered as a kidney donor are tested very carefully to ensure they are a suitable donor and are fit for the operation needed to remove a kidney.
Ideally, living donations will come from a close relative because they are more likely to share the same tissue type and blood group as the recipient, which reduces the risk of the body rejecting the kidney. However, donations from those who are not blood relatives are sometimes possible.
Kidney donations are also possible for people who have recently died. This is known as deceased kidney donation. However, this type of kidney donation has a slightly lower chance of long-term successes on dialysis.

My option to live is Kidney Transplant




Kidney Transplant Option



With my family support, kidney transplant is my option.

Most people who need a kidney transplant are able to have one, regardless of their age, as long as they are well enough to withstand the effects of surgery. The transplant has a relatively good chance of success
The person is willing to comply with the recommended treatments required after the transplant – such as taking immunosuppressant medication and attending regular follow-up appointments.
Reasons why it may not be safe or effective to perform a transplant include having an ongoing infection (this will need to be treated first), heart disease, liver failure, cancer that has spread to several places in your body (metastatic cancer), and AIDS (the final and most serious stage of an HIV infection).
However, people who have HIV that is being effectively controlled with medication can often have a kidney transplant.
