Caring for your Organ

One of the biggest benefits of having a healthy kidney is the freedom and increased quality of life that you will have. In the early stages of recovery, it is important to remember that you still had major surgery and it is going to take your body some time to get used to your new organ. Moderation is important especially for activities that are physically taxing. In your early stages of recovery, you will meet with many staff. Their job is to teach you how to take care of your kidney. After you are released you are the main person in charge of monitoring your health and alerting others if changes in your health occur.
