How to Prevent Kidney Transplant Rejection ?

Kidney transplantation is an effective treatment for kidney failure, but it requires close follow-up to protect the transplanted kidney. The immune system might perceive the new kidney as foreign and attack it, resulting in rejection.

1. Understanding Kidney Transplant Rejection

  • What is Rejection?
    Rejection occurs when the immune system attacks the transplanted kidney.

    • Acute rejection: within weeks or months.

    • Chronic rejection: develops over years.

    • Causes include irregular medication, infections, uncontrolled blood pressure or diabetes.

  • Symptoms of Rejection:

    • Swelling in the face or legs

    • Reduced or discolored urine

    • High blood pressure

    • Fatigue and nausea
      If any symptoms appear, seek medical care immediately.

2. Preventing Kidney Transplant Rejection

  • Medication Adherence:
    Take immunosuppressive drugs on time.
    Never adjust dosage without your doctor’s approval.
    Attend regular checkups at Dialyse Medical Center.

  • Regular Testing:
    Routine kidney function tests help track the transplant’s health.

  • Healthy Lifestyle:
    Eat a balanced diet rich in light proteins and vegetables.
    Drink water regularly.
    Avoid infections by handwashing and avoiding sick individuals.

Proper care ensures a healthy, long-lasting transplanted kidney.
