A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study analyzes the results of comprehensive geriatric assessments in older kidney transplant candidates and recipients. It focuses on evaluating both functional and mental status to understand their impact on transplant outcomes. By monitoring these assessments, the study aims to improve pre-transplant evaluations and post-transplant quality of life for geriatric patients. The findings could help tailor care strategies for this growing population in need of kidney transplants.
