AB  - Kidneys  and  livers  comprise  the  greatest  number  of  successful  transplantations.  The  majority  of  candidates  for  kidney  transplants  have  end-stage  kidney  disease  resulting  from  type  1  diabetes,  and  the  majority  of  liver  transplants  are  for  individuals  with  end-stage  liver  disease.  The  number  of  successful  candidates  for  these  transplants  has  increased  due  to  an  increased  understanding  controlling  organ  rejection  and  other  complications  of  these  disease  processes.  Transplant  rejection  occurs  in  10%  to  20%  of  all  cases,  usually  within  the  first  3  months,  but  rejection  can  occur  years  later.  Post-transplant  musculoskeletal  pain,  especially  the  knee  and  ankle  joints,  is  common  in  the  first  6  months,  affecting  up  to  35%  of  individuals  receiving  a  renal  transplant  and  25%  of  liver  transplants.  After  receiving  a  kidney  or  liver,  clients  may  have  limited  mobility  and  endurance  from  excessive  fatigue.  Complications  from  their  diseases  and  side  effects  of  their  numerous  drugs  affect  physical  activity.
