renal transplant recipients

Renal transplant recipients are individuals who have received a kidney transplant to replace one or both of their failing kidneys. This procedure is often necessary for patients with kidney disease or severe dysfunction, allowing them to regain kidney function and improve their quality of life. After the transplant, recipients need to take immunosuppressive medications to prevent their body from rejecting the new kidney. Regular medical follow-ups are essential to monitor kidney function and overall health. A successful transplant can lead to a more active lifestyle and can significantly extend life expectancy compared to remaining on dialysis.
