After Transplant
After your transplant you will be given a kidney transplant owner’s manual prior to discharge. This manual will cover, in detail almost everything you need to know about your transplant. Topics that will be covered are:
- Medications
- Types of infections
- How to prevent infections
- Possible viruses after transplant
- Kidney Transplant Rejection
- Post Transplant Clinic schedule
- Important labs
- Clinic schedule
- What to do in an emergency
Your assigned Post Kidney Transplant Coordinator will cover all this information with you. Your Coordinator will be available to you during business hours Monday-Friday. If you have an emergency after business hours, you can contact the on call Transplant Coordinator.
Once you return home, we will draw labs twice a week. This will give us information on your kidney function, it is very important that you do these as ordered. You will also follow-up in our transplant clinic as ordered by our physicians.
