Our Approach to Transplant Care

Kidney transplantation represents a major milestone in treating advanced kidney disease, but success depends on careful preparation and lifelong medical management. Our team provides expert guidance from initial evaluation through long-term post-transplant care, working in close partnership with your transplant center to optimize outcomes at every stage.

Understanding Kidney Transplantation

Complex hypertension includes cases where blood pressure is difficult to control or is caused by underlying medical conditions. Early identification of contributing factors is essential for effective treatment and prevention of organ damage.

Types We Treat

Our expertise includes several forms of difficult-to-manage high blood pressure:
  • Resistant hypertension (uncontrolled despite multiple medications)

  • Secondary hypertension (caused by underlying conditions)

  • Renovascular hypertension and renal artery stenosis

  • Hypertension related to chronic kidney disease

  • Medication-resistant cases

Warning Signs of Hypertension

If you experience any of these symptoms alongside high blood pressure, specialized evaluation may be needed:
  • Blood pressure that stays high despite taking multiple medications

  • Sudden worsening of previously controlled blood pressure

  • Onset of high blood pressure before age 30 or after age 55

  • Evidence of organ damage from high blood pressure

  • Unexplained changes in kidney function

  • Severe blood pressure spikes

Frequently Asked Questions About Kidney Transplant Care

What role does a nephrologist play in kidney transplant care?

Your transplant nephrologist manages your medical care before and after transplantation while coordinating with your transplant center. We provide pre-transplant evaluation and optimization, monitor immunosuppression medications, detect and treat complications, and deliver lifelong post-transplant care. This partnership ensures you receive comprehensive medical management while your transplant center focuses on surgical care.

How often will I need appointments after my kidney transplant?

Post-transplant monitoring is most intensive in the first few months, with appointments typically weekly or biweekly initially. As your transplant stabilizes, visits usually decrease to monthly, then every 2-3 months for stable patients. However, monitoring is lifelong, and visit frequency may increase if issues arise. We maintain continuous communication with your transplant center throughout your care.

What medications will I need after kidney transplantation?

Post-transplant care requires immunosuppression medications to prevent rejection of your new kidney. These typically include a combination of drugs that suppress your immune system. We carefully monitor medication levels through blood tests, adjust dosages to balance effectiveness with side effects, and manage any complications. Adherence to your medication schedule is critical for transplant success.

How do you coordinate my care with the transplant center?

We maintain close communication with your transplant center through shared medical records, regular updates about laboratory results and medication changes, and immediate notification of any concerns. This collaborative approach ensures seamless care with clear protocols for who manages which aspects of your treatment. You benefit from both specialized transplant surgery expertise and comprehensive nephrology management.
