Medical Disclaimer

IMPORTANT: This application is for informational and educational purposes only.

The Post-Kidney Transplant Nutrition Guide ("KidneyCare+") is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The information provided by this application, including but not limited to nutrition analysis, meal recommendations, and medication reminders, should not be used for diagnosing or treating a health problem or disease.

Always seek the advice of your transplant physician, nephrologist, registered dietitian, or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding your diet, medications, or medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read or received from this application.

No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Use of this application does not create a doctor-patient or dietitian-client relationship. The information provided is general in nature and may not apply to your specific medical situation. Every transplant patient is unique, and dietary requirements can vary based on:

  • Time since transplant surgery
  • Current kidney function and lab values
  • Other medical conditions (diabetes, heart disease, etc.)
  • Current medications and potential interactions
  • Individual allergies and intolerances
  • Your transplant center's specific protocols

AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

This application uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze nutrition labels and generate meal recommendations. While we strive for accuracy, AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. The AI:

  • May not correctly identify all ingredients in an image
  • May not be aware of the latest medical research or guidelines
  • Cannot account for your individual medical history or current health status
  • May provide general recommendations that are not appropriate for your specific situation
  • Should never be relied upon as the sole source of nutritional or medical guidance

You should always verify any information provided by this app with your healthcare team before making dietary decisions.

Medication Reminders Disclaimer

The medication reminder feature is provided as a convenience tool only. This application:

  • Does not guarantee delivery of notifications
  • Should not be your only method of remembering medications
  • Does not verify medication dosages, timing, or interactions
  • Is not a replacement for pharmacy or medical supervision

Missing immunosuppressant medications can lead to organ rejection. Always maintain backup reminder systems and follow your transplant team's medication protocols exactly as prescribed.

Food Safety Warning

Post-kidney transplant patients are immunocompromised and at higher risk for foodborne illness. This application provides general guidance but cannot account for:

  • How food was prepared, stored, or handled
  • Local food safety conditions
  • Individual immune system status
  • Restaurant or manufacturer food safety practices

Always follow food safety guidelines provided by your transplant center.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency services immediately. Do not use this application to make decisions in emergency situations.

Contact your transplant center immediately if you experience:

  • Fever over 100.4°F (38°C)
  • Signs of rejection (decreased urine output, swelling, pain over transplant)
  • Severe vomiting or diarrhea
  • Signs of infection
  • Missed doses of immunosuppressant medications
