I have been on the kidney transplant list for three and a half years.  My body has maintained so far without dialysis, however, should I need dialysis I have chosen pd.  I have poly cystic kidneys and when I do have a transplant, they will at the time, remove one kidney to put in a new one.  My question is, I know sometimes the new kidney does not start working for awhile.  Will they leave the catheter in during surgery and still do PD while in the hospital?

Not been through that myself, but when I was in the kidney ward (with non-kidney related problems that might have screwed up the kidneys further, so was there as a precaution) the patients in your situation were monitored all the time and given dialysis if and when it was necessary.

Correct, They will not remove the cath until you are consistently making acceptable amounts of urine-and they will continue to do PD to keep your blood clean :)

My name is Bruce and I am the caregiver for my daughter Holly who is 31 years old and received her kidney transplant on December 22, 2016 :)
Holly's Facebook Kidney  page: https://www.facebook.com/Hollys.transplantpage/

Holly had a heart transplant at the age of 5 1/2 months in 1990. Heart is still doing GREAT!  :thumbup;
Holly was on hemodialysis for 2.5 years-We did NXStage home hemo from January 2016 to December 22, 2016
Holly's best Christmas ever occurred on December 22, 2016 when a compassionate family in their time of grief gave Holly the ultimate gift...a kidney!

I am in a similar position in that I'm not on dialysis yet, but pd is my preferred choice. I was told that when I have my transplant I will not be able to go on pd as the new kidney will be in the cavity where the dialyase fluid goes. I'd have to have HD if the new kidney doesn't work straight away.

???? It is my understanding that PD is done through the stomach. If they are putting your new kidney in your stomach I think you need to ask some serious questions!

Pd is done through the peritoneum. The sort of sack all your organs are in/protected by.

That is interesting. It is not what I was told when PD was still a viable option for me, but it make a lot more sense than what I was told. I'm guessing that they simply did not tell me this and when they said "put it in your stomach" they meant "going in through the part of your abdomen we call our stomach".

LOL!  If the surgeon put your new kidney in your stomach, it would be digested.  It's like telling a child that babies grow in a mummy's tummy. ::)

Before I had to watch the quantity of potassium I ate, I often put kidneys in my stomach. And yes, the result was that they are digested.

Oooh, I'd put kidneys in my stomach, too, if they were accompanied by steak and encased in pudding.

Yeah, when the dietitian told me I was overdoing the dialysis diet, and needed to eat slightly more phosphorus and potassium, one of the first things I bought was a steak and kidney pudding.
