Within six months after kidney transplantation, the condition is very unstable, and there may be fluctuations in blood pressure, elevated body temperature and many other conditions, and it is common to miss medication. It is recommended that patients record these conditions every day within these six months, so that they can clearly see the physical changes during this period of time, and also avoid the problem of missing or taking more medications to some extent. Generally more than six months later, the patient’s health is more stable, the drug has been adjusted to a very appropriate dosage, and has also developed the habit of taking medication on time, then you can consider no longer record. 1, blood pressure needs to be measured “diligently” patients need to measure blood pressure 4 to 5 times a day to monitor whether the disease changes. If the blood pressure rises once or twice temporarily, it may be caused by emotional changes, but if it rises significantly over a period of time, and the transplanted kidney area is painful and the urine volume has decreased, it may be a manifestation of the body rejecting the new kidney. 2. Body temperature should not be higher than 37.3℃ The body temperature needs to be measured every day for six months after kidney transplantation, 37.3℃ is the warning line. 37.3-38℃ may be a problem such as a small cold, but if it is higher than 38℃, it may be an infectious disease such as pneumonia or the body’s rejection of the new kidney. If it exceeds this value, the patient should go to the hospital as soon as possible, do not simply eat a little fever-reducing drugs and get over it. 3, buy a measuring cup to measure the volume of urine Daily urine volume is the most intuitive expression of kidney function, the daily urine volume of ordinary people can be between 1500~2000ml, this standard also applies to kidney transplant patients, if you drink a lot of water, but the urine volume for a few days are below 1000ml may be kidney damage, you should seek medical examination as soon as possible. To measure urine output, it is most intuitive to buy a urine measuring cup, in which the patient urinates every day and reads it the next day. We generally do not recommend that patients calculate urine volume by comparing their daily weight, which is greatly affected by the patient’s daily diet, bowel movements and clothing, and is generally difficult to control and very unintuitive. 4, kidney transplant patients should be more careful about blood sugar Hormones themselves can easily lead to secondary diabetes and obesity, but also make appetite rise, so that kidney transplant patients further increase blood sugar. Patients should regularly record their weight as well as blood sugar to prevent hyperglycemia and obesity, and if they have diabetes, it is recommended to record it more often and consult the endocrinology department in time. 5, make a record after taking medication every day Eating immunosuppressants is part of the life of kidney transplant patients, if they do not develop the habit, once they miss the dose, it is easy to develop immune rejection reaction. In the six months after surgery, it is best to record each time the patient takes the medication, which can play a role in supervising themselves and help to develop a good habit of taking medication regularly and regularly every day; it is also best to record whether there is an uncomfortable reaction after taking the medication, and the doctor can assess the therapeutic effect of the medication according to the patient’s record during the follow-up consultation. 6, the transplanted kidney can often touch itself Early after kidney transplantation, patients can touch the new kidney located in the right or left iliac fossa every day and record it. As it is closer to the body surface, you can feel it visually by touching it. Generally, the kidney will gradually become softer after six months of surgery. If it feels harder to the touch for a period of time, or if it is obvious that the kidney is enlarged, it is likely that there is an organ rejection reaction, and you should go to the hospital in time. 7, smoking and alcohol is best to quit Kidney transplant patients better not to smoke and drink, if really can not control in the short term, but also to record every day, to play a warning effect on their own. For kidney transplant patients, the biggest harm of smoking is its destructive effect on the blood vessels throughout the body, especially on the new kidney blood vessels; in addition, smoking may lead to a decrease in immunity, but also aggravate hypertension, hyperglycemia disease, indirectly causing damage to the kidneys. Wine will not directly affect the new kidney, may indirectly affect the body from blood pressure, blood sugar, liver damage and other aspects, indirectly affecting the new kidney function. Especially some uremia is caused precisely by alcohol abuse, such patients must stop drinking. Finally, it is still recommended that kidney transplant patients, the new kidney is not easy to come, it is better to force yourself to quit smoking and drinking.
