title: Pre- and post-transplant care: nursing management of the renal transplant recipient: part 2.
abstract: This is the second article in a three part continuing education series on renal transplantation which addresses the specialised knowledge and skills required in order to prepare a patient admitted to hospital for renal transplantation and then how to care for that patient afterwards. The first article in this series addressed patient health and well-being while waiting for a renal transplant. The third article will look at the long-term care of kidney recipients.
