If you had or need a kidney transplant, what does life after your surgery look like? We speak to consultant nephrologist Dr Ng Eng Khim and consultant urologist Dr Murali Sundram from Sunway Medical Centre on the recovery process after a kidney transplant, and what you need to do to keep your new kidney healthy.
