Kidney transplant recipients are individuals who have undergone a surgical procedure to receive a healthy kidney from a donor to replace their own diseased or nonfunctioning kidney. This procedure is typically performed to treat end-stage renal disease, where the kidneys have lost the ability to function properly. Research in this area focuses on various aspects of kidney transplant recipients, including their outcomes post-transplant, management of complications such as organ rejection and infection, psychological and emotional well-being, quality of life, adherence to medication and follow-up care, and long-term health and survival rates. Researchers also study factors related to donor-recipient compatibility, immunosuppressive medications, and strategies to improve transplant success and overall patient care.
