Going Back to work after Kidney Transplant
Kidney Care for life 
Things to keep in mind !!
A kidney transplant is a procedure to place a new functional and healthy kidney in a person suffering from end-stage renal disease and on dialysis. It also means to enable the suffering person to live a normal life like others.
Returning back to work is necessary for the patient to take care of financial stability and expenses of post kidney transplant care viz. Medication and follow-up.
Most of the patients lead healthy lifestyles after kidney transplant and resume their respective work.
Obviously, there are many restrictions to carrying on professional life after a kidney transplant. People need to change their work areas sometimes as per requirements.
Things to take care of while going back to work after a kidney transplant:
- Always take immunosuppressive medication on time.
- Don't dare to take risk of missing a single dose of any medicine.
- Always carry purified and fresh water along with you, if going outside for work.
- Maintain BP and sugar at the workplace too, and do not take unnecessary stress.
- Try to spare ten minutes for physical movement, if doing any desk job and sitting for long hours.
- Always cover the nose properly with a mask to avoid dust allergy.
- Try to minimize the journey time to reach the workplace, and prefer the "WORK FROM HOME" facility.
- Control the weight after a kidney transplant and take a low salt diet.
- Maintain a good level of hemoglobin by following a proper diet chart.
When to contact the hospital?
- If having a fever above 100°F.
- Any kind of pain around the transplanted kidney area.
- Swelling on feet or on the face.
- A reduced amount of urine takes place.
- In the case of URINARY TRACT INFECTION.
- When blood and urine reports are showing significantly unfavorable values.
A kidney Transplant is a blessing for end-stage renal disease patients, so keep it as the blessing of the donor. Try not to do anything wrong with the transplanted kidney.
