Hello, I am a 30 yo male that will soon be receiving a transplant from my sister. I was deployed down range a year ago when they discovered by way of HBP that my kidneys were functioning at 25%. Since then it has been what seems like a very fast year and we are planning on a preemptive transplant as I am hovering around 15%. It has been a rough road as not only has my health deteriorated but my career is coming to a swift end. I am hoping for some first hand experiences for what to expect post transplant. Thanks.

Welcome to the group.
So far my post transplant life is going good. I was able to continue working an office job on dialysis and return to work about one month after the transplant. My signature has a link to a tread with detailed updates on my transplant. I'd classify my transplant experience as going very good, but there still are lots of ups and downs.

Welcome to IHD!
I hope all goes well with the Tx from your Sister, Be sure to give her a big Hug.
Deployed? Vet part of your screen name, are you still in?
I got out in 75, 40% SC, Legs still attached, just don't like to bend well. But they're mine so I'm keeping them.
Take Care,
