Prediction of Medication Compliance Following Renal Transplantation

Completed

Conditions studied: Kidney Transplantation

In brief

The purpose of this study is to quantitate pre-transplant medication compliance, dialysis compliance, and related psychological variables, and then examine their validity as predictors of post-transplant noncompliant behaviors and clinically relevant outcomes (acute rejection, graft loss, or death). Hypothesis: Noncompliance with pre-transplant medication or with the dialysis prescription, and specific psychological variables predict similarly noncompliant behaviors after transplantation.
