Normal for men is 13.5 though I think, so 11 is good for a male dialysis patient but I'd ask the transplant team if that's still OK now that you're no longer on D.

I agree with Monrein.   My hem. is currently 11.5 and I'm constantly cold (pre-dialysis).  I hope I don't remain cold after transplant!  However, I'll take cold over hot!       Good Luck!
