Abstract

The progressive rise in the number of kidney transplant recipients in the last 2 decades is reflective of the technological advances in the field. Nephrologists are responsible for providing long-term longitudinal care to these patients. It is pertinent that nephrologists understand the various nuances of aspects such as immunosuppression, opportunistic infections, and identification of causes associated with graft dysfunction.
