Post-transplantation Care and Complications

Post-transplantation care involves close monitoring and management after a patient receives an organ transplant, like a kidney or liver. This includes taking immunosuppressive medications to prevent the body from rejecting the new organ, regular check-ups, blood tests, and maintaining overall health through a balanced diet and exercise. Complications can arise, such as organ rejection, infections due to a weakened immune system, and side effects from medications. It’s crucial for patients to follow their healthcare team’s advice to promote healing and improve the chances of a successful long-term outcome.
