Lymph fluid mass on new kidney

Posted by maggieinfp @maggieinfp, Mar 19 7:48am

Is any other kidney recipient familiar with this condition. I have a fluid mass attached to my new kidney (but not harming it). They tried making a hole and I wore a drain for a month. Next, I think is a procedure to punch holes in it with hopes it will absorb into the body. Was told “not a trivial complication, but not uncommon” and yet, I have not seen here before. Just wondering what I am facing?

Hi @maggieinfp, I thought I'd check in. Has the lymph fluid been successfully drained from your new kidney? How are you doing?

Thx for checking. I have surgery scheduled for the 11th when they will punch holes in it and put in a shield. Never before have I looked forward to surgery and some relief lol.
