Kidney Transplant

Dear Doctor

my Mother had 7.5 months post kidney transplant, I found that last night her leg was alittle bit edema but it has recover in the morning.
I need your advice about the mechanism why it happen, is it usual to find an edema after transplant? is it indicating something wrong?

many thanks in advance

You posted on the Diabetes forum. There is a kidney forum below.  I can offer this much; you need to inform/contact the transplant coordinator and/or the transplant surgeon of this. Edema with kidney tx patients often reflects the kidney is retaining excessive water and sodium. Just because it went away the following day doesn't mean a potential problem exists.
