I would tire very quickly after kidney transplant. Mayo had me take Vitron C which is an over the counter Iron supplement because my hemoglobin was so low which can make your oxygen low. Maybe ask if it is ok for him to take. Once he is stronger physical therapy might help too, it's a tough process to go through everything he has had to endure. Meanwhile how are you doing? Are you resting and taking care of yourself?

Thank you for the reply. They took blood on Friday to have his iron checked, haven’t heard back about it. I am his caregiver and I was for his sister also. She was his donor but the day of surgery they did a swap. His sister is doing good. As for me.... I’m a survivor 😊. Thank you for asking.

Hi. Boy have we've been going through a lot these past three weeks. My husband has been in the hospital twice. His creatinine went real high, had a sonogram done and they said his ureter had collapsed. They are calling it Hydronephrosis. Is this a normal thing? They have a tube going to it with a bag to catch his urine. All they can tell me is they dont know why it happened.
