Postoperative Nursing Management for Kidney Transplant PatientsPostoperative nursing management care includes monitoring the surgical site, encouraging early movement, and promoting lung health through breathing exercises. Nurses also administer prescribed medications like H2-blockers, such as famotidine, or proton pump inhibitors, like omeprazole, to help prevent gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. Fungal infections in the mouth and bladder can result from immunosuppressive and antibiotic...

Kidney Transplant I: Introduction

28
A kidney transplant is a surgical approach that involves replacing a non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This procedure is often a treatment option for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The method requires careful recipient selection, including evaluating various medical and psychosocial factors. These criteria vary between transplant centers but generally include assessments of the patient's overall health, adherence to medical recommendations, and lifestyle...

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Transplant Surgery

Background:

  • Incisional hernia (IH) following renal transplant (RT) presents unique clinical challenges due to the transplanted kidney and patient immunosuppression.
  • Understanding IH incidence, risk factors, and outcomes is crucial for post-transplant patient management.

Conclusions:

  • Incisional hernias are an uncommon complication post-renal transplant.
  • The majority of identified incisional hernias are managed with elective surgical repair.
