Background of the Study: Kidney transplantation is a life-saving treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease, but the risk of organ rejection remains a major challenge. Rejection episodes, whether acute or chronic, can lead to graft failure and necessitate further medical interventions (Sani et al., 2023). Nurses play an essential role in the early detection and management of rejection episodes through monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and providing patient education on the importance of adherence to immunosuppressive therapy (Abubakar & Muhammad, 2024). However, the specific roles of nurses in managing rejection episodes in kidney transplant patients in Bauchi State hospitals have not been comprehensively studied.
This research will investigate the roles and responsibilities of nurses in managing kidney transplant rejection episodes, exploring how their interventions can improve the outcomes for transplant recipients in Bauchi State.
Statement of the Problem: Kidney transplant recipients face the risk of rejection episodes that can negatively impact the success of the transplant and the patient's long-term survival. Nurses, as key players in patient care, are involved in monitoring for signs of rejection, administering treatments, and educating patients on managing their health (Olajide et al., 2023). Despite the importance of these roles, there is limited research on the specific contributions of nurses in managing rejection episodes in kidney transplant patients in Bauchi State. This study will explore how nurses' practices influence the outcomes of kidney transplant recipients and identify challenges they face in managing these complex situations.

Scope and Limitations of the Study: The study will focus on nurses working in kidney transplant units in Bauchi State hospitals. The research will explore their roles in managing rejection episodes and the challenges they face in providing optimal care. Limitations include the reliance on self-reported data and the exclusion of non-hospital-based kidney transplant patients.
