After Kidney or Pancreas Transplant Surgery

Supporting You After Your Kidney or Pancreas Transplant

After surgery, the kidney and pancreas transplant team and your referring physician will create a personalized treatment plan after your transplant, and closely watch your lab work and medicine changes.

The team also will educate you and your family about home care instructions, such as:

• Medicine schedule
• Blood test schedule
• Activity restrictions
• Frequency of follow-up care

And we'll work with your referring physician to develop a transition plan for care.
