'Lower creatinine in kidney after transplant keto diet good for patients Your stomach will get slimmer again. I have word in transplant follow up clinics for the last 14 years, helping to care for people after transplant. Our service performs about 200 transplants per year. Everyone gets abdominal swelling after transplant. The transplant kidney is placed in the front of the abdomen usually low down at or just above the belt line on one side. The surgeons need to co.nnect up the kidney quickly because the kidney deteriorates when it is removed from its ice storage. They also have to carefully co.nnect up one or more veins and arteries and the ureter without causing any damage. The vessels they have to co.nnect can be quite small, requiring delicate stitches to make a watertight seal. This is why they usually need to make a long cut in the ski.n and abdominal muscles getting a good view and easy access to the vessels. This long cut through the abdominal muscles heals completely in around two months. But before it heals, the muscles cant tighten up to keep your stomach in. So the muscles get weak through lack of use. Now three months have passed the muscles have healed and just need to get their strength back. They will recover on their own, but you can help a lot by exercising to get your fitness back. Any exercise is good, but exercises specifically for strengthening abdominal muscles will be be for your stomach swelling. The kidney is normally co.nnected to hundreds of tiny lymphatic vessels which carries away fluid which has leaked out of the blood vessels. These tiny vessels are not co.nnected during a kidney transplant operation. So the transplanted kidney oozes small amounts of lymphatic fluid from the cut ends of the lymphatic vessels. This fluid often collects around the transplant kidney after the initial surgery. Sometimes this fluid collection is quite large called a lymphocoele . The body will eventually develop new lymphatic vessels to carry this fluid away so the fluid collection nearly always disappears after some months. Very occasionally, the fluid needs to be drained by a surgical procedure, but as long as the kidney is worng normally, it is be to just let the body sort this out naturally. If you have received prednisolone to prevent rejection and especially if you had early rejection and were treated with additional intravenous doses of prednisolone, this can cause gradual increase in abdominal fa.t. Prednisolone is a catabolic steroid the opposite of the anabolic steroids, illegally used by athletes. It causes increase in fa.t at the expense of muscles when used in high doses. This effect will disappear as the prednisolone dose is gradually reduced after transplant. You can help by excising to increase fitness and reduce fa.t. Before your transplant you had kidney failure. Even if you were treated by dialysis, the level of toxins in you blood would have been higher than normal. These toxins suppress appetite. Now you have a new kidney, the toxin levels should have returned to normal. So you now have a normal healthy appetite, maybe for the first time in years. You will need to take care not to overeat, just like the rt of us. Exercise will help with this too. Although health is massively improved by kidney transplant, the kidney transplant procedure causes psychological stress. This affects people differently, but most experience feelings of disappointment and even some resentment. To some extent, you would have adjusted to your life before transplant. After transplant, life is different and you may feel some sense of loss. Loss of co.ntrol of your body shape can be stressful as well. You can help this by excising as this will help you regain your body shape and is also good for relieving stress.'
