A lot potty happening after Nephrectomy
My mother recently got operated and her kidney was removed. The surgery was named as Nephrectomy. Is it normal that her motion has increased and she is doing potty 8 times a day? It's been almost 10 days and it's almost everyday. Also, her pressure keeps on dropping usually at night. Are these common symptoms after kidney removal? Anything to worry about?

Fluctuating blood pressure after the nephrectomy is one of the after effects due to the reduced mass of the kidney.If it occurs frequently she may need to be seen by a nephrologist.Increase in bowel movements , rarely seen after nephrectomy lasts for 2 -3 weeks.
