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

64
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...

Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

81
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Nursing management is essential for preventing complications, maintaining stability, and improving patients' quality of life in chronic kidney disease (CKD). By using a structured approach, nurses help slow CKD progression and support effective patient care​.1. Comprehensive patient assessmentEffective management begins with nurses reviewing the patient’s medical history, and identifying key risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, and nephrotoxic drug use. Nurses assess signs of...

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progressively impairs multiple body systems due to the accumulation of uremic toxins, which disrupt cellular functions across various organs.Neurologic symptomsNeurologic symptoms often arise early in CKD, as uremic toxin buildup drives changes in cognitive and motor functions. Patients frequently experience fatigue, headache, confusion, difficulty concentrating, and, in severe cases, seizures. Peripheral neuropathy commonly manifests as burning sensations in the...

Summary

Transgender and nonbinary individuals require sensitive care in renal services. Specific considerations for kidney function estimation and potential surgical impacts are crucial for quality, person-centered treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare equity
  • Renal medicine
  • Transgender health

Background:

  • Transgender and nonbinary people face healthcare inequities and trauma.
  • Culturally safe and sensitive care is essential for quality, person-centered treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Explore the needs of transgender and nonbinary individuals in renal services.
  • Identify practice recommendations and research gaps.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on general transgender healthcare.
  • Focused review on specific renal care issues for transgender and nonbinary patients.

Main Results:

  • eGFR formula selection requires careful consideration of gender identity, especially for trans men on hormonal therapy.
