Nursing care for patients with Kidney transplantation

- Nursing procedures post kidney transplantation

The patient is given the required solutions and medications on a daily basis until his condition stabilizes.

•  Reducing visits to the patient, while following the instructions of the treating physicians and the nursing staff responsible for the patient, so that he is not exposed to infections and infectious diseases from others, due to his intensive use of immunosuppressive medications, which cause the body’s resistance to these diseases to weaken.
• Some patients require a biopsy of the transplanted kidney when there is a temporary weakness in kidney function, in order to diagnose early cases of rejection or other conditions and provide appropriate treatment.
• When the patient is discharged from the hospital, he is given detailed instructions regarding medications, diet, and appointments for outpatient visits, along with the prescribed sick leave.
