Post-transplant Care and Complications

Post-transplant care involves monitoring and managing a patient’s health after receiving an organ transplant. This includes taking immunosuppressant medications to prevent the body from rejecting the new organ, attending regular follow-up appointments, and maintaining overall health through a balanced diet and exercise. Complications can arise, such as infection due to weakened immunity, organ rejection, or side effects from medications. It's crucial for patients to stay vigilant about any unusual symptoms and communicate with their healthcare team to ensure the best possible recovery and long-term success of the transplant.
