Chronic Transplant Nephropathy

Chronic Transplant Nephropathy is a long-term condition that can affect kidney transplant recipients. It occurs when the transplanted kidney gradually loses its function over time, often due to a mix of factors such as rejection, damage from medications, and the body’s natural aging processes. This condition can lead to scarring and reduced blood flow in the kidney, ultimately impairing its ability to filter waste. Regular monitoring and management are essential for maintaining kidney health and extending the life of the transplant. Early detection and intervention can help improve outcomes for patients facing this issue.
