FAQ
What is a renal transplant?
A renal transplant, or kidney transplant, is a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a donor is implanted into a person with end-stage renal disease or severe kidney dysfunction to restore normal kidney function.
What medications are required after a renal transplant?
After a renal transplant, recipients must take immunosuppressive medications including corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and antiproliferative agents to prevent their immune system from rejecting the new kidney. It’s important to adhere to the prescriptions and guidelines provided by your doctors.
What lifestyle changes are necessary after a renal transplant?
After a renal transplant, recipients should maintain a healthy diet, avoid infections, manage blood pressure and diabetes, and avoid harmful substances, while following their doctor’s guidelines.
Who can donate a kidney?
Kidneys can be donated by living individuals (related or unrelated to the recipient) or deceased individuals (under donation after brain death or cardiac death protocols).
How long is the recovery period after a renal transplant?
Recovery time varies depending on the recipient. Full recovery can take several weeks to months, during which follow-up appointments and medication adjustments are necessary.
What are the risks of renal transplant surgery?
Risks associated with renal transplant include surgical complications, rejection of the transplanted kidney, infections, and side effects from medications. Long-term risks may involve high blood pressure, diabetes, and increased cancer risk due to immunosuppressants.
