Tonight at 8 pm ET—Join us for an Instagram Live session, After Your Kidney Transplant: Ways to Reduce Rejection. Kidney transplants are one of the most commonly performed transplant surgeries, with about 20,000 to 25,000 kidney transplants performed each year. Unfortunately, some type of acute rejection happens in approximately 15% of patients in the first 3 months after surgery. Yana Bailey, content creator and blogger @yanabstyle, and Dr. Matthew J. Ellis, a kidney transplant specialist at @dukehealth, will discuss kidney transplant rejection, including ways to reduce the risk of rejection, risk factors, signs and symptoms, and monitoring strategies. They will also discuss what happens if rejection occurs and how it is managed. Join at @yanabstyle
