Pediatric kidney transplantation part 51




Eating and drinking

Never let your child  eat or drink grapefruit or grapefruit juice. This includes any fruit related grapefruit, such as pomelo and any mixed fruit juices containing grapefruit juice. Grapefruit juice  can interact with some transplant medications, in particular raising  the levels of immunosuppressants in the blood. Never let your child  drink unpasteurized milk products  or untreated water as they can have infections that may be more harmful to your child because their immune system is decreased.
