Renal Transplant Done. Persisting Fever. Worried

Hi Samuel,

The renal transplant has been done in Aug, 2011. It was going well till last month. However, suddenly fever started from this month May, 2013. Did all tests (Blood/ Urine, CT Scan, X-ray etc.), Every report is normal (-ve). Unable to get the exact reason of fever. From last 15 days, doctor giving Metacine/ Paracitamol for fever and asking for multiple tests. But no result so far.

Please suggest. I am very much concerned.

Regards,
Ranjan

Hello!
prolonged fever in a post transplant patient is not a good sign. because of the immuno compromised state, the patients are vulnerable to get infection, which are usually not easily detected and once detected then very hard to treat. I think you need more investigtion to rule out the disease and then to get proper treatment. Also, you have not mentioned about your urine output?
thanks
