Everyday life with an organ transplant
An organ transplant marks a significant turning point in your life that is associated with a high degree of hope. It is understandable that you want to be as prepared as possible.
Here we provide information concerning the time after transplantation, such as valuable tips on topics of immunosuppression and aftercare.
We give you numerous tips on healthy and low-germ nutrition after transplantation, as some foods contain germs against which the weakened immune system is not yet sufficiently protected. Our recommendations will help you to avoid possible complications and to enjoy eating and drinking to the full. We also inform you about what you should pay attention to in terms of nutrition in case of various concomitant diseases.
The topic of travelling is a challenge for many transplant patients, as it is difficult to make the right decisions for your own body. After recovery, you should slowly start exercising again. We present options for exercise after transplantation and offer a list of support groups that can provide further points of contact.
