Physical performance monitoring for adults being evaluated for kidney transplant

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This prospective longitudinal cohort follows adults undergoing kidney transplant evaluation and a comparison group of dialysis patients deemed unsuitable for listing. Participants complete the SPPB at baseline, then annually while waiting, and at 6 and 12 months after transplant for listed patients; ineligible dialysis patients have baseline and annual SPPB measurements. SPPB scores (0–12) will be used to categorize frail, pre-frail, and non-frail status and to compare trajectories between groups. The study links SPPB trajectories with post-transplant outcomes such as graft function and survival to clarify how physical performance changes over time.
