Follow-up

You must keep follow-up appointments with your transplant team to monitor for signs of rejection.

  • You will have regular blood and urine tests to detect any signs of organ failure. One or more ultrasounds of the graft kidney may be done to see if there are structural abnormalities suggesting rejection.

  • An arteriogram or nuclear medicine scan may be needed to confirm that blood is flowing to the transplanted kidney.
