2 years after my father's kidney transplant
2 years after my father's kidney transplant
- I gave my father a kidney transplant.
At that time, my father had a broken kidney due to diabetes and complications.
Transplant surgery was performed just before dialysis because it was best to transplant the kidney just before dialysis.
My father got a transplant and started a simple exercise after discharge, and then he worked steadily to increase the amount of exercise,
He quit drinking and smoking, and improved his diet to be vegetarian rather than meat.
As a result, about two years later, my father's condition seems to have returned to normal.
Clearly, kidney transplant surgery is the most important thing to manage after surgery.
Of course, you shouldn't be arrogant.
Thank you very much for your father's efforts after the transplant.
