Is Norflox TZ Advisable After Kidney Transplantation?
Question: Hello doctor.I am kidney transplant patient for last 4 years. 3 days I started having loose motion and from second day it was green in colour. I assked my regular doctor who takes care of my transplant told me to take Neoroflox TZ. But O leaned that it is a very strong medicine and can affect kidneys. Please suggest.
Brief Answer:
Norflox TZ is safe in kidney transplant patients
Detailed Answer:
Hi, XXXXXXX
Norflox TZ is completely safe in kidney transplant patients and you can very well take it twice a day for 3 to 5 days.
Diarrhea in transplant patients can be because of normal dietary infection like in any other person. but it can also be because of atypical bacteria and fungi which are not seen in normal public.
So , the idea is if diarrhea does not respond to norflox tZ in a day or two you need to undergo testing to find out the cause of diarrhea.
more importantly if you are having diarrhea you should take adequate water intake so that you don't get dehydrated which can impact the kidney.
Diarrhea in a transplant patient can be a sign of infection elsewhere- like in blood stream or urine - so you should get urine routine KFT and CBC tests done under guidance of your physician
best wishes.

Brief Answer:
sweating may not be related to kidney disease
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
if you are sweating a lot you should measure your temperature . see it for 3 days continuously three to four times in a day to rule out any fever
Check if your clothing is appropriate to the room temperature.
Diabetic patients and patients with autonomic neuropathy do have excessive sweating after meals.
Check if you are having low BP or low sugar level at the time of sweating
best wishes
