What Causes A Weird Sensation In Head ?
My friend is recovering from setpicemia and kidney failure due to a bug in the bile duct. He also had a liver transplant 8 year ago. He has now been out of hospital for 5 weeks but is extremley tired and feels funny in the head. My question is what is the recovering time with what he has been through. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your concern.
Septicemia is severe infection in blood.
Kidney failure is a serious stage ,where kidney function is compromised.
After a liver transplant,every person is given steroids and immuno-suppressants. So immunity is compromised.
Hope the general picture of his health is clear,with no time of recovery.
Recovery depends on basic health status, and improvement in kidney function, by checking creatinine and electrolytes.
