increased susceptibility to infections, weight
gain, bone thinning, and high blood pressure.

progress of the transplanted kidney and detect
any potential issues early on. These appointments
may include blood tests, imaging studies, and
consultations with various specialists. Balanced

long-term success of the transplant. This
typically involves limiting sodium, potassium,
and phosphorus intake while ensuring an adequate
protein intake, healthy fats, and fiber intake.
