Ihave had a kidney transplant 7 months ago a it is a good match, thank god, I did something really stupid last week end ,I met 2 high school buddies after 35 years and we had a weekend filled with booze, women and drugs. I did a lot of cocaine and drank alcohol, I can not explain the reason, I do not even know why, but can you please tell me if I did damage to my transplant and how can I find out, keep in mind this was the first time anfter a 25 year sober, year 1998 stopped drugs and year 2001 stopped alcohol. Please help me.

Dear friend ... I understand your problem .. What happened is over .. Now on strictly stay away from alcohol or drugs completelty already yours is a transplanted kidney .. And if some thing goes wrong no one can help .. Restrict salt and proteins .. But take more amount of green leafy vegetables and hydrate yourself adequately ... Be very care full but lead a healthy and stress less life ... God bless you take care ..
