Recovery

For a long term recovery after a transplant, it is essential to follow the instructions of your surgeon. Probably the most important stage in recovery for the patients of kidney transplant is proper consultation, diet and rest. You might feel exhausted and weak after going through a kidney transplant procedure. Our kidney transplant Post-Op Care package is specially curated by our medical team to guide you to eat right, feel stronger and intake medications at the prescribed time to recover completely and heal fully. The overall recovery can be achieved under the post-operative care and guidance of specialized experts.

Key stages of Recovery

After the surgical intervention, patients are required to pay attention to a lot of medical parameters to ensure they are recovering well under the guidance of the experts. We have determined some of the key stages for kidney transplant patients to recover right.

Stage 1: Until 3 weeks

    • The initial 7-9 days after a Kidney transplant are extremely crucial for you and therefore you will be kept in the hospital under the care of doctors and experts in this phase.
    • This is the stage when you are most prone to infections and/or post-surgical complications. Therefore the doctor will keep an eye on any signs of bleeding or rejection.
    • You should not lift objects weighing more than 10 pounds for 2-3 weeks.
    • You will be administered immunosuppressive medicines to avoid organ rejection for the rest of your life.
    • You will be brought back to normal eating habits slowly under the supervision of an expert, starting from liquid diets and slowly shifting to solid food items.
    • After a few days, you will be discharged from the hospital but must revisit for scheduled follow up sessions.

Stage 2: Up to 3 months

    • You are expected to undergo a series of blood tests and other pathological tests to check the functioning of your kidneys and the status of organ acceptance by the body.
    • You should remain attentive towards some primary indicators of kidney rejection in this initial phase of recovery including Sores, wounds, or injuries, frequent urge to urinate, pain or burning feeling when urinating, cloudy or reddish urine, or bad-smelling urine.
    • In the next 6-8 weeks, you can resume with light work however, you must avoid lifting any heavyweights.
    • Diet is a very important part of recovery. It is crucial to take a diet that will keep your blood pressure maintained. Taking a balanced diet is a determinant of fast recovery. A nutritionist can help build a diet plan for you with all the right nutrition and water intake requirements.
    • At this stage of recovery, you are expected to be dealing with a lot of specialists, including a surgeon, nutritionist, rehabilitation specialist and psychologist to help you sail through the treatment process comfortably.

Stage 3: Up to 6 months

  • At this stage, you are already nearing the conclusion of your entire course of recovery, which may involve multiple therapies or treatment modalities.
  • Chronic rejection is common after kidney transplantation, therefore, you may be advised to undergo a routine blood test examination as well as other pathological and radiology examinations to confirm that there are no signs of rejection.
  • Follow-up care and instructions related to avoiding any side effects of immunosuppressive drugs must be followed.
  • A collaboration with the treating surgeon and nutritionist is required to lead a healthy life ahead. At this point, the follow-up frequency with the doctor may reduce to once every 3 months and eventually to once every 6 months.

Patients recovering from kidney transplant require continuous guidance, support and coaching to ensure they remain positive psychologically. Even though home care services are absolutely essential for immobile and critical patients who need physical assistance and 24x7 care and monitoring, the role of virtual care services cannot be ignored in providing them with mental and psychological support, in addition to clinical follow-ups regarding their treatment progress. 
 
In fact, virtual care services are also proven to be beneficial for patients who just had some form of surgery or treatment done. They may be completely mobile, independent and not in the need of home-care services, but the incidence of post-anaesthetic and post-operative psychosis in them is significant, especially in the geriatric population. This is where the role of virtual care services come into play.
 
Fact:Postoperative delirium is a quintessential geriatric complication (Inouyeetal2007). The incidence ranges from 9% to 87% depending on both the patient population and the degree of operative stress (DemeureandFain2006).
 
Moreover, virtual care services are about accessing the medical specialists from different areas of specialization to help you and guide you at every step of your recovery which cannot be fulfilled and delivered by the home care services for patients recovering from Kidney transplant. 
 
With our years of experience in assisting patients, it has been our objective to offer the right blend of care services to our patients for assured recovery under the guidance of top medical specialists. A broader overview of value-based Virtual care delivery over Homecare Services.
