Donor: Circulation/temperature regulation post surgery

Posted by bobby123 @bobby123, Feb 4 10:59pm

Have any (kidney) donors experienced a change to temp regulation/circulation post surgery. I'm four weeks post surgery and have noticed in last few weeks that my feet are either particularly cold (compared to the rest of my body) or the opposite i.e. sweaty.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Transplants Support Group.

@bobby123 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thank you for donating. Wish more people would. I’m sorry about your temperature / circulation regulating problem. Are you still being followed up by the team in charge of your surgery? I would start by asking them about your concerns. Another possibility is that your difficulties could be related to a seasonal thing. I don’t know where you are located but where I live the weather is just unseasonably weird! My house mechanicals aren’t responding normally and it is hard to know what PJ’s, clothing and bed linens to use.
