@roast beef Yep. It doesn't affect me at all. I didn't even know I was missing a kidney until I was 18 and they found out when I was getting scans for an unrelated sports injury.

roast beef Alcohol is mainly metabolized by the liver, not the kidney. Also, one kidney can easily do the work of both kidneys as long as it is healthy :)

Thank you for covering nephrology and this specialty. I have been on various modalities of dialysis since 2013 and just got my transplant Dec, 2019. So far doing well and stable. Going to watch your other vlog on dialysis now. Have watched a lot of your other vlogs over the years and it’s informative and shows how much you care about patients and other folks you work with. These are great vlogs.

[@DrAdnan]

The whole transplant surgery process is so cool! It’s also interesting how old kidneys are left inside often and transplanted kidneys are just added on.

[@grapatin]

My dad had a kidney-pancreas transplant in 1992, and has had three kidneys and two pancreases ever since. All of his native organs still had some function, so it was thought to be preferable to add, rather than to replace. Post-transplant medication regimens are complex, but critical to keeping your new organs healthy and preventing rejection. If you or someone you know is contemplating getting an organ transplant, it's best to prepare for it by making sure you are taking your medications correctly before the transplant, as that habit can save and extend your life after the transplant.

What do you think you will specialize in when you finish your rotations etc. Fact, the native kidneys shrink once you have had a tx. We have a txrecipient who is 40 years post tx here in Australia

This was supposed to have been my path. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@tdadp]

Really a disclaimer.. come on now lol your not giving medical advice. Your giving a good education information & look at the life of a doctor and your perspective on Medicean and your sharing an amazing videos on the health in general. Love all that you do .

[@ViolinMD]

Yes I agree - thanks for agreeing Tony!

[@BrianJoslyn]

Tony Especially in the health/medical field, disclaimers are required by law. There's even a disclaimer on cigarette packs. Every patient is different, in some way. There can be two or more patients with the same (type of) issue, but they have different things done and/or have different results. In October '15 I found out I have heart block and ended up with a pacemaker. They could've recommended a heart transplant, but it's not really necessary as heart block isn't something that a transplant is particularly necessary (although I could get one). Siobhan, I appreciate the disclaimer. It's the smart thing to do.

[@JoJo-hg7tg]

Unfortunately not everyone has common sense. But I agree Tony, it does seem silly

[@TrangThu-hb9iy]

I have only discovered your channel recently but pretty sure close to finish watching all of your videos. Besides from watching them in my free time, I even replay your videos in small volume whenever I’m studying. You really motivates and reminds me of the reason why I’m doing all this (and also makes me feel less alone lol is that too weird?). It’s to be able to study what I actually want and make this world a better place. I really hope I’ll get to a place where I can look around and be happy with what I’m doing like you. That probably doesn’t sound that big of a deal but the public education system here doesn’t really fit me so a lot of the time I find myself stuck and feel like I’m never getting through this. Also, don’t really want to admit this sometimes but being productive helps my mental health and general mood a lot. So ahh thank you so much. Keep up the good work and remember to take care of yourself too (although you’re easily one of the healthiest person I’ve ever seen tbh) Love you! ❤️
