Kidney Transplant Recipient Groups

Kidney transplant recipient groups are categorized based on their clinical situations. The most common groups include: (1) Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients awaiting transplant, often called wait-listed; (2) Patients who have received a transplant and are in the early post-transplant period, needing monitoring for rejection; (3) Long-term transplant recipients, managing ongoing immunosuppressant therapy; and (4) Re-transplant patients, receiving a second or more kidney transplant after the first fails. These groups reflect different stages and needs, guiding their medical care and immunosuppressive management.
