Patient Monitoring Post-Renal Transplant

Patient monitoring after a kidney transplant is crucial for ensuring the new organ functions well and the patient stays healthy. It involves regular check-ups to assess kidney performance through blood tests and urine tests. Doctors monitor for signs of rejection, where the body attacks the new kidney, and watch for infections or complications. Medication adherence, particularly immunosuppressants to prevent rejection, is vital. Additionally, lifestyle factors like diet, hydration, and exercise are important for overall health. Consistent follow-up care helps detect problems early and supports long-term success of the transplant.
