Management of Kidney Dysfunction in Stem Cell Transplant Recipients

Management of kidney dysfunction in stem cell transplant recipients involves careful monitoring and treatment to preserve kidney function and overall health. Doctors regularly check kidney function through blood tests and may adjust medications to minimize harm to the kidneys. If kidney issues arise, strategies can include hydration, medication adjustments, and possibly dietary changes. In some cases, consulting a nephrologist, a kidney specialist, may be necessary. Ultimately, maintaining kidney health is crucial, as it supports recovery and enhances the effectiveness of the stem cell transplant. Regular follow-up appointments are essential for proactive care.
