Nursing Care After Kidney Transplant: Case Report

Exp Clin Transplant. 2018 Mar;16 Suppl 1(Suppl 1):55-60. doi: 10.6002/ect.TOND-TDTD2017.O22.

Abstract

Kidney transplant is the leading treatment method for patients with recent renal failure in terms of quality of life, cost, and survival. After transplant, rejection, infection, cardiovascular diseases, malignancies, immunosuppressive therapy failure, and psychologic problems may occur. Posttransplant nursing care is as important as pretransplant nursing care in terms of enhancing quality of life, preventing complications, and providing necessary changes to treatment. In this report, we presented ways to increase quality of care after transplant and outlined standardized nursing care to reduce work and time loads by ensuring integrative and systematic approaches of nurses.
