Thank you. I usually end up in the hospital with sepsis as I don't present early on in the infection. This time I have some inclination that something is up. Today was my regular monthly draw and my 1/4 ly urine sample test. No results available as of yet. I'm not sure what our patient care will be as I've always been admitted to hospital. just curious as to how other recipients have prevented this? Thank you for your time

I live almost 800 miles away from my Mayo transplant team, so I rely on my PCP. I am able to go to his office to give a urine sample when I suspect a UTI. If this happens cuts after his office hours, I go to the urgent care clinic that is in the same building to give a sample and hope for an antibiotic until I get a culture through PCP’s office.
Sepsis is the last thing I want ever again. I have been to ER for UTI, but over time, I have learned to identify my symptoms pretty well.
