Frequently Asked Questions
What urologic conditions are evaluated before a kidney transplant?
Before transplant, a urologic evaluation typically assesses bladder function, any history of urinary tract abnormalities, and the condition of the native kidneys. Issues such as bladder outlet obstruction or recurrent infections must be identified and addressed to ensure the transplanted kidney can function properly. Dr. Khauli can guide you through what to expect during this workup.
What urologic complications can occur after a kidney transplant?
Post-transplant urologic complications may include ureteral strictures, urinary leaks, lymphoceles, or recurrent urinary tract infections. These complications can affect graft function if not managed promptly. Early diagnosis and surgical or minimally invasive intervention are key to protecting the transplanted kidney.
Can someone with a history of kidney stones receive a kidney transplant?
A history of kidney stones does not automatically disqualify someone from transplantation, but it does require careful evaluation. The cause and frequency of stone disease, along with bladder and urinary tract function, will be reviewed as part of the pre-transplant workup. Management strategies can be developed to reduce stone recurrence after transplant.
How long is recovery after kidney transplant surgery?
Most patients remain hospitalized for several days following transplant surgery and require close monitoring for graft function and signs of rejection. Full recovery typically spans several weeks, with activity restrictions and frequent follow-up appointments. Immunosuppressive medications will be a long-term part of post-transplant care.
Does Dr. Khauli see patients who are still on the transplant waiting list?
Yes, urologic consultations before transplantation are an important part of ensuring a patient is surgically prepared when a donor organ becomes available. Addressing any urologic issues in advance can reduce complications and improve outcomes after the transplant itself. Scheduling an evaluation early in the process is strongly encouraged.
