Abstract

Kidney transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage renal disease. However, recent statistics show that 36%–55% of kidney recipients do not adhere to their treatment regimen, and approximately 36%–45% of them experience their first infection within the first three years post-transplant. Therefore, nurses need to have a deep understanding and a comprehensive view of the issues faced by kidney transplant patients to develop specific nursing interventions. So, the question arises: “What nursing interventions are necessary during the stages of kidney transplantation?” To address this question, the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol has been introduced as a multidisciplinary concept. ERAS plays a significant role in optimizing recovery and supporting kidney transplant patients preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively. ERAS shortens hospital stays, reduces complication rates, and improves overall quality of life by allowing patients to return to normal activities more quickly. This comprehensive approach ensures that patients receive optimal care throughout their transplant journey, leading to successful outcomes and increased patient satisfaction.
