heavy loads

Pain Relief, Antibiotic
Avoid taking pain relief medicines. If you ever feel pain in any part of the body, then contact the doctor. Pain Relief Antibiotics cause kidney damage, which is not good for you. Let us tell you that after donating the kidney, the donor also has to undergo medical care. Dr Madhuri Jaitley, Associate Consultant Nephrology at Paras Hospital Gurugram, said that for people in generally good health, the risks after donating a kidney are minor in the long run. But this does not mean that the risk is over. He said that if someone donates a kidney, then the chances of kidney failure increase slightly in the future. Although the risk is minor but its chances are around 1%.
Donor should take care of this
Whenever a person donates a kidney, he is kept in the hospital for 2 to 3 days where he is looked after. After this the donor is discharged. Slowly he starts coming back to the same old lifestyle. After donating the kidney, the second kidney of the donor is slightly developed. Donor must visit nephrologist once in a year. Also, less salt should be consumed in your diet and pain relief medicines should be avoided. Both the donor and the recipient can live a long life if diet and lifestyle are maintained.
