Maintaining Your Health After a Transplant
Keeping a healthy outlook on life

After an organ transplant, there is hope for the future. However, there are a number of health concerns that you will face after transplantation. For example, there is the chance that your new organ will not always function as well as it should. Transplant recipients also have a higher risk of developing certain conditions such as high blood pressure, high blood fats, heart attack, stroke, diabetes, kidney problems, liver disease, and bone disease. Infection and cancer are also conditions to be aware of. For more information about infection and malignancy (cancer) after a transplant, CLICK HERE.

Some conditions can affect any transplant recipient and some conditions are specific to the type of organ transplant. This section focuses on those conditions that can affect all types of organ transplant recipients. Being aware of these conditions and taking steps to prevent them is a good way to stay healthy after transplant surgery.
