After a kidney transplant, long-term health monitoring is crucial to ensure the transplant remains successful.

Regular Check-Ups: After the transplant, you will have frequent follow-up appointments, initially daily, then weekly, and monthly. These check-ups will include:

– Blood tests to monitor kidney function, including eGFR and creatinine.

– Monitoring the effectiveness of anti-rejection medications.

– Wound care and monitoring for signs of infection or rejection.

– Regular checks for other conditions like blood pressure and diabetes. (KHA-Booklet-An-introduction-to-Kidney-Transplantation.pdf)
