I would need to know all the factors that went into the decision to deny you a place on the transplant list. Each transplant center makes their own crit" Ask the Doctor I have had a kidney transplant from a dead donor fifteen years ago. Five years after the transplant, I started to suffer UTI's (I'm  now 65 Years Old) that lead to sepsis.   I was admitted to hospital on numerous occasions with UTI's. I believe my medication was mismanaged because I was taken off antibiotics too soon, and two days later taken back to hospital because the infection was still in my body. After many  times of UTI's happening and the recurrence of infection a Doctor suggested that I kept on the antibiotics for fourteen days. This did the trick, and I was ok. I have had been in hospital with severe diarrhea caught from my grandson. I have had COVID which, although I was worried, I went to hospital, but was fine after a few days. My kidney is now deteriorating at 18pct. I am very well, and active, also I'm a caregiver for my adult son. I have been refused a second transplant by my consultant because of my infections in the past. My immunosuppressants are now 1.25 Adoport. Could I be given a low dose of antibiotics in the first 18 months until they are able to reduce my immunosuppressants to stop my getting UTI's. Please let me know. I don't want to live a life on dialysis. Please give me your opinion.
