It is not uncommon at all for a kidney to be "lazy" at first. I am so hoping that things will settle down for you very soon and that you will be able to enjoy your new life. Congrats!

CONGRATS! That's awesome. It was a bit of a road for me when I had mine but everyone is different. I craved chocolate chip cookies and Brussel sprouts after. LOL
Don't know why. Never forget your meds. Good luck!

A little update. My Chuck is still sleeping. ultrasound showed everything is perfect. On Monday I will have kidney biopsy to find out if kidney is just lazy or in acute renal failure. Doctors say not to worry, but I'm a little nervous. Ner ous is actually a mild word  |

Fingers and toes crossed for you. Tell that lazy bean to WAKE UP!!!! It's a good match, so it needs to get busy and do its job. If they say not to worry, then try not to. Aleta |

Oi, Chuck! Awake and to work, lad!
Good luck, Uros. I am hoping that this is just a slow start to the marathon run you will get from this kidney.

Tomorrow I have kidney biopsy. I'm scared. Currently there are three people with non functioning kidney in my transplant centre. I have the longest stay. Ok, I've read many articles about delayed graft function. It can take up to several weeks or even months especially if the donor wasn't ideal. Mine wasn't. He had a history of blood pressure for three years. Nevertheless this is very frustrating for me. All this for nothing  |

I understand your being scared. But let's hope that this is not all for nothing. Stay as positive as you can because worry isn't good for you overall. I'm still rooting for Chuck to start chugging away.  Aleta |

Uros - I'm sorry Chuck has decided he needs a longer nap before getting to work. It's hard not to worry when things don't go according to plan. Sending positive vibes you way for good news from the biopsy tomorrow . |

I understand the frustration because my first transplanted kidney ( back in 1995) was a sleepy kidney as well. it had been pretty lazy for 3 weeks. doctor kept telling me do not worry but how could you not ... hope your biopsy went smoothly and give you a good result.

Acute is much better than chronic - I think on balance the news is very hopeful. Fingers crossed for you, Uros. C'mon, Chuck! Start giving those toxins a drubbing! |
