What is Kidney Transplant Consultation and Aftercare?
Kidney transplant consultation is the phase where patients with end-stage kidney disease receive guidance on whether they are suitable candidates for transplant surgery. It involves reviewing your health history, understanding transplant risks and benefits, and preparing you mentally and physically for the journey ahead. Aftercare begins right after surgery and plays a critical role in your long-term recovery and kidney health.
