Home or hospital exercise before kidney transplant
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares doing a pre-transplant exercise program at home (with remote support) versus at the hospital. The goal is to see if both ways are equally good at improving your fitness before surgery and possibly your recovery after.
