Care of Kidney Transplant Candidates and Recipients

Online Product

Using a case-based approach, this program addresses practical considerations in the care of kidney transplant candidates and recipients. Experts explore the approach to transplant evaluation, listing, wait-list management, and ultimately organ transplantation. Thereon, the focus is on multiple perioperative, early, and post-transplant considerations, with the goal of achieving an optimally functioning graft and patient. While receiving a kidney transplant is the goal of this process, it is just the beginning of a new set of challenges for these patients as they learn to live with a kidney allograft and immunosuppression. Experts discuss the effects of over- and under-immunosuppression and their management. All topics are considered in the context of workforce and resource limitations, which require general and transplant nephrology professionals to work together toward the goal of enabling patients to live well with a kidney transplant.
