About Transplant Nephrology
Transplant nephrology prepares people for kidney transplantation and cares for them afterwards. A transplant gives most patients better health and freedom than dialysis.
After transplant, lifelong immunosuppressive medicines prevent rejection, and regular blood tests monitor kidney function and drug levels. Never skip doses and report fever or reduced urine immediately.
