What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate and compare various health metrics, including respiratory function, muscle oxygenation, functional capacity, peripheral muscle strength, body composition, and levels of frailty in kidney transplant recipients. The participants will be categorized based on the presence or absence of inspiratory muscle weakness. By analyzing these factors, the study seeks to understand how inspiratory muscle weakness affects overall health and recovery in kidney transplant patients.
