Physical fitness and quality of life in kidney transplant candidates
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study follows people waiting for a kidney transplant to understand how physical fitness changes over time and how it affects their daily life and well-being. By tracking your strength, walking ability, and how you're feeling, researchers hope to improve care for people like you.
