Dr. Zhao Xinju
Hyperthyroidism may occur after kidney transplantation. Following the transplant, patients may have weakened physical condition and lowered immune function, which could lead to hyperthyroidism. After kidney transplantation, patients should follow their doctor's instructions regarding anti-rejection medications and also strengthen their body's resistance to prevent other adverse symptoms.
