BackgroundThere have been over 51 000 pediatric solid organ transplants since 1988 in the United States alone, leading to a growing population of long‐term survivors who face complications of childhood organ failure and long‐term immunosuppression.AimsThis is an educational review of existing literature.ResultsPediatric solid organ transplant recipients are at increased risk for risk for cardiovascular and kidney disease, skin cancers, and growth problems, though the severity of impact may vary by organ type. Pediatric recipients often are able to complete schooling, maintain a job, and form family and social networks in adulthood, though at somewhat lower rates than the general population, but face additional challenges related to neurocognitive deficits, mental health disorders, and discrimination.ConclusionsTransplant centers and research programs should expand their focus to include long‐term well‐being. Increased collaboration between pediatric and adult transplant specialists will be necessary to better understand and manage long‐term complications.
