Home Health Care for the Kidney and Kidney-Pancreas Transplant Recipient

Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina

Kidney transplantation has been a part of the world medical scene for more than 45 years and simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplantation for more than 20 years. Improvements in medical techniques, immunosuppressive therapy, and expansion of patient eligibility have led to a population more in need of home health services than ever before. The home health needs of the population range from typical chronic health care needs to issues specifically associated with immunosuppression.

Key Words: kidney transplant • kidney-pancreas transplant • immunosuppression • home care
