Identifying Physical Function Trajectories and Biomarkers after Kidney Transplantation

Overview

About this study

The aims of this study are to identify frailty trajectories and biomarkers of frailty after kidney transplantation. Subjects will be followed beginning immediately prior to kidney transplantation until 1 year after kidney transplantation. Frailty will be prospectively assessed using performance-based measures (Fried criteria and Short Physical Impairment Battery). The relationship between frailty measures and blood levels of promising candidate biomarkers will be analyzed.
