ATI Chapter 60 Review: Kidney Transplant

In this Advanced Med-Surg review, we break down kidney transplantation for clients with end-stage kidney disease. This episode covers indications for transplant, donor matching and tissue compatibility, priority preoperative preparation, and critical postoperative nursing care. We also review key complications such as organ rejection, infection, renal artery stenosis, and thrombosis, along with essential patient education and lifelong immunosuppressive therapy. This focused review helps nursing students understand transplant physiology, recognize complications early, and apply safe evidence-based nursing care.
