    This video is amazing. I have big concerns with how I can communicate all of this to my partner and so it's comforting to hear that others can and have faced the same problem before. I would love to see a video from the perspective of a donor's partner. Something for my partner to see to reassure her would go a long way.

    How many people have a history of liver failure/injury with oseltamivir (Tamiflu)? Especially since it doesn't seem to cause jaundice? I don't believe it as as "rare" as is reported on the Livertox website. There seems to be a collective aversion within the medical community to attribute liver injury to this nearaminidase inhibitor, which needs to be reevaluated. There have been cases of acute DILI liver failure up to around a month of a typical 5-day treatment for flu. The long-term effects of thus antiviral drug administration would be a great topic for discussion, as there is little to no information available to the public about the long-term effects of DILI. I think we will have to see many, many more of these before the resistance to liver injury from specifically Tamiflu is recognized. The studies with rat's and Tamiflu are pretty clear, however. Liver and kidney damage from Tamiflu has been well documented, yet sadly, actively ignored in the medical community. This needs to change. Even Google, on a cursory search, will tell you that "no liver injury has occurred from tamiflu." And "Experts says the benefits of Tamiflu outweighs the risks," yet fails to tell us what "experts." The nausea and vomiting caused byTamiflu, as well as some psychosis, must not be ignored symptoms, not even weeks after treatment with Tamiflu. Every healthcare provider needs to become familiar with the toxicity of Tamiflu, and must not simply give it out like candy to seniors, especially not to those in care homes. Here's a good place to start. The black box warnings need to include liver & kidney toxicity warnings. Please read this & there are many more... www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8787452/

    I don't get it. "I choose life" - I suppose that means "I choose to go ahead and get a liver transplant". I can't imagine there are people needing a liver transplant and choosing not to get one.

  • @cyberbob4111
    @cyberbob4111 4 месяца назад

    this talk as so many strongly downplays the risks. The donors remaining kidney is being pressurized by the entire blood flow which once passed 2 kidneys. Therefore it gets bloated, podocytes wear and the slit membranes open wider and let more urine but also proteine pass. That is the "increase" in function, which is more of an exaggerated work mode which results in accelerated wear. Once the donor falls sick with almost any kind of desease e.g. Cancer, Alzheimers or Parkinson's, the medical treatment often is toxic to the kidneys. Now the donor has less renal mass to loose and the toxic agent flows through one kidney only, i.e. at twice the concentration, which will quickly raise the question if the desease or the treatment is more detrimental to the patient. Living donations have the advantage, that doctors can plan and prepare for the transplantation and that enables the transplantation of non compatible organs as there is time to suppress the recipients immune system with B-cell depleting medicine (Rituximab) and remove antibodies by plasmapheresis. While this may succeed, there is significant risk early in the procedure, where the recipient may loose the organ or even their life.

But for me, this is just the right thing to do, simple! I actually will be disappointed if not a suitable donor, even OK with the donor swapping, to me, if you can help then why the bloody hell wouldn't you?

I only need one kidney. If something happens and I need a kidney in the future,, I will move to the top of the transplant list....but that is rare. In the interim, I can save a life. I could keep two kidneys...incase I need a spare....but the probability is very low. Even so.....I will have a great medical team to assist me as a former donor.

    Hi Candice and Kate, thank you for your video. I had a transplant 3 years ago. And last year I decided to give pregnancy a go after everything had stabilized. I had a really smooth journey, no complications at all. A C section was scheduled at 38 weeks, but at 34 weeks plus 5 days my baby’s heart just stopped after I have just been told the previous day during a check up that my baby was healthy and big. It’s been a month since I gave birth to him and I’m still in shock and deeply devastated. My doctor mentioned that due to my transplant I’m at higher risk of stillbirth which leaves me with very little hope
