Core Tip	This updated overview serves as a comprehensive guide for generalists involved in post-kidney transplant care. It covers essential aspects such as the management of immunosuppression, drug interactions, and acute kidney injury, as well as the integration of advanced therapies like sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and cell-free DNA monitoring. In addition to lifestyle management and targeted screening recommendations, we provide guidance on managing pregnancy after a successful kidney transplant. We also highlight when it is appropriate to consult subspecialists for further expertise in managing complex cases or complications, ensuring optimal care for transplant recipients.
