Hip replacement after having had kidney transplant

Posted by Scott @scottb32, Jul 5, 2018

I had kidney transplant a little more than 2 years ago. Now getting to a point where I need a hip replacement and wondering if anyone else has gone through this surgery after transplant? Curious how it went and any advice. Thanks

Hello, I have had both, same as you, tears ago. Also, kidney lasted 14 years. Hip replacement also and it is a gem. Zero pain. I wish you success, just di exactly what they tell you. Kathy

This is wonderful news! I had no idea that the surgery already occurred. I know that you are looking forward to being active once again. It sounds as if you are definitely receiving the best of care. Mayo is the best. (My granddaughter who is 5 says me and grandpa are the best!)
Scott, are the labs tomorrow for hip or kidney, or both? Do you know what/if any extra precautions were needed due to your transplanted kidney? Will you have any extra precautions for yourself as you heal dure to the kidney?
I hope the PT went well today.
Enjoy the rest of your day!

Blood work was follow up on my kidney. Making sure no issues after surgery. No real extra precautions needed although I felt much better going into the hip replacement knowing if an issue arose the kidney team was on another floor. The healing process is going better than I expected and they all continue to remind me to drink water.
