Medical management of older transplant recipients

Medical management of older transplant recipients involves carefully monitoring their health after receiving a transplant, such as a kidney or heart. This includes managing anti-rejection medications to prevent the body from rejecting the new organ, while also addressing potential side effects. Regular check-ups assess overall health and detect any complications early. Coordination of care among various specialists is crucial to managing age-related issues, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Emphasis is placed on maintaining a balanced lifestyle, including diet and exercise, to enhance recovery and ensure the best possible outcomes in their new health journey.
