For many patients with chronic kidney disease, a kidney transplant is often the last resort for a more independent life. The operation does not cure the chronic condition, but it does restore quality of life and a new outlook on life. However, complications can arise time and again as a result of the operation or subsequent immunosuppressive therapy. This new phase of life therefore involves many challenges and changes that must be overcome with the help of medical staff. Those affected should actively participate in the treatment process themselves, so that regular medication intake and, consequently, the health of organ recipients are supported. To this end, patients require information and ongoing support both before and after the operation to enable them to manage their own care in the long term. By motivating patients to adhere to their treatment, long-term compliance is also ensured, which is of great importance for people with chronic illnesses.
