Why kidney transplant follow‑up matters
After a kidney transplant, close follow‑up is essential to keep your new kidney working well. Regular visits help us catch problems early, adjust medications, and support your overall health.

Key parts of transplant follow‑up
- Monitoring kidney function with blood and urine tests
- Checking drug levels for your anti‑rejection medications
- Watching for signs of rejection or infection
- Managing blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol
- Screening for medication side effects

Symptoms to watch for
- Swelling, weight gain, or decreased urine output
- Fever, chills, or flu‑like symptoms
- Pain or tenderness over the transplant area
- Rising blood pressure
- New or worsening fatigue
