Abstract

Organ transplantation is a life-saving procedure for individuals suffering from end-stage organ failure. While the primary focus of organ transplantation has historically been on survival and graft function, increasing attention has been paid to the quality of life (QoL) of transplant recipients. The impact of organ transplantation on QoL is multifaceted, involving physical, psychological, social, and emotional dimensions. This article explores the various factors influencing QoL in organ transplant recipients, including pre- and post-transplant health, the burden of immunosuppressive therapy, and the psychological adjustments required after the procedure. Although transplantation generally leads to significant improvements in QoL, recipients often face ongoing challenges such as medication side effects, graft rejection, and the need for continuous monitoring. This article highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to improving QoL through tailored care, psychosocial support, and personalized post-transplant programs.
