Your qualifications are intimidating. You're one of few Nigerians still lifting our flag high abroad which sometimes makes us proud to be identified as Nigerians.
Even after a kidney transplant, the rate of rejection is high, coupled with the anti-rejection medications you need to take for the rest of your life, and the lowered immunity these drugs cause. You are open season for any sickness that comes your way.
Dialysis was his best option in my opinion but also that is expensive.
I plan to open up a kidney institute in Nigeria to manage kidney care because kidney failure isn't a death sentence.
Dialysis is good if affordable. It costs around Two Thousand Naira in India per session and i have seen many Indians lived with it for so many years because they can afford it.
We really need to put so many things in place in Nigeria.
Ok. Heart failure should not be confused with cardiac arrest or heart attack. They are 2 different things.
Heart failure is as a result of weakening of certain parts of the heart, mainly the right or left side of the heart. We have right sided heart failure and left sided heart failure.
After a kidney transplant, if the kidneys aren't working optimally well to remove excess fluid from the blood and body, there begins to be a buildup of fluids in the blood and body. In the blood, the blood volume increases and this causes blood volume overload. This leads to swelling in the hands, abdomen , legs, face, aka oedema.
Furthermore, this blood volume increase makes the right and left side of the heart to do more work. Think of the heart like a pump. In the past, the heart was only used to pumping about 5 liters of blood. But now, due to the volume increase in the blood, it is now pumping 10liters of blood. To pump this blood, the heart will work more, and also increase the blood pressure and also the heart rate will be higher. If this amount of work by the heart continues, it will eventually weaken the heart because the heart is being overworked.
This weakened heart becomes less efficient, and flabby and then it isn't able to work efficiently anymore. This is the stage of heart failure. Eventually, it will become so weak that it can't pump any more blood, furthering the heart failure. Then it stops working eventually. Complete heart failure.
Also kidney failure/transplant can cause a heart attack. If the transplanted kidney isn't working properly, it may not excrete potassium efficiently. This causes buildup of potassium ions in the blood. This buildup of potassium will raise the blood potassium levels leading to hyperkalemia. Eventually hyperkalemia can cause a cardiac arrest because the heart is very sensitive to high potassium levels.
No, I'm not a doctor. I'm a dialysis Nurse. I hold a bachelor's in physiology University of Ibadan, and a Master's degree in Nursing in a US University. I currently work for one of the top dialysis companies in US. My qualifications are:
BSc physiology, MSN nursing, PHN (public health Nurse).

I plan to open up a kidney institute in Nigeria to manage kidney care because kidney failure isn't a death sentence. Everyday I deal with people who have been on dialysis for more than 10 years and you wouldn't even know they are on dialysis. They looks as healthy as everyone else.
Another problem with dialysis in Nigeria is the lack of knowledge when it comes to nutrition on dialysis which is a very important part, if not the most important part. Most people who die from kidney failure in Nigeria is because they did not adhere to a strict kidney diet due to ignorance.
I plan to open a kidney institute and train people on how to take care of kidney patients. I plan to train nutritionists, nurses, and doctors on how to manage kidney patients. We can't keep losing people to kidney failure which can be managed.
With kidney failure comes a myriad of complications. Some are elevated blood potassium (hyperkalemia), elevated phosphorus (hyperphosphatemia), elevated urea (uremia), lowered or elevated calcium (hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia), Mineral bone disease, constant itching due to buildup of waste, Reduced RBC count(anemia), need for iron infusion, need for vitamin D supplement, erc
These are just some of the complications with kidney failure and Majority or them are caused by what you eat. There is something called a kidney or renal diet which would be used to manage the kidney failure process. It's a lot of things involved and I could go on and on for many pages of I need to explain it all.
With kidney failure, avoid bananas cos they are high in potassium.
Avoid coke, Pepsi, and all dark colored soft drinks cos they are high in phosphorus. Drink clear colored drinks like Sprite or 7up.
Avoid potatoes. High in potassium
Avoid beans. High in phosphorus.
Avoid orange and certain fruits cos they are high in calcium.
Avoid certain types of meats, fish, and seafoods. High in phosphorus.

I pray your good wish come to pass,just lost someone from kidney failure.
