Upon leaving the hospital, you will receive a schedule of follow-up clinic visits for lab tests and checkups. The purpose is to track your progress and detect potential complications as early as possible.
On days when you are scheduled for follow-up visits, you should bring your medication list, medications in their original containers, and your transplant handbook. You will be given specific instructions for routine lab work or special tests that you might need.
