Post-Transplant Surveillance

Post-transplant surveillance refers to the ongoing monitoring of patients who have received an organ transplant, such as a heart, kidney, or liver. After transplantation, doctors regularly check for signs of organ rejection, infections, or complications due to the medication used to prevent rejection. This typically involves physical exams, blood tests, and imaging studies. The goal of post-transplant surveillance is to ensure the transplanted organ is functioning well and to address any issues promptly, helping the patient maintain their health and improve their quality of life after the procedure.
