Education of patiens after kidney transplantation

Renal transplantation is a method of choice for irreversible renal failure and has become a routine part of treatment through advances in surgical techniques and immunosuppressive therapy options. In order for the treatment process to be successful, patients must be properly instructed about the treatment regime at home. The aim is to improve the postoperative quality of treatment of patients, but also to support the long-term function of the transplanted kidney.
