Conditions
Summary
In this study a personalized, multi modal prehabilitation intervention will be offered to n = 64 patients on the kidney transplant waiting-list. The control group (n = 64) will receive care as usual. Based on a screening, comprised of questionnaires and physical test, eligible kidney transplant candidates who have modifiable problems on the domains of physical capacity, nutritional status or psychological well-being, will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. The intervention will consist of a 12-week prehabilitation program followed by a 12 week consolidation program. Primary outcome will be frailty status as an indicator of overall health status and will be measured at screening (T0), 13 weeks (T1) and 26 weeks (T2)

Interventions
A twelve-week prehabilitation program consisting of physical exercises, nutritional measures and psychosocial interventions based on the KTCs personal needs as indicated by an assessment consisting of questionnaires and physical tests. The prehabilitation program will be followed by a twelve-week consolidation program, in which the intensity and frequency of the interventions will be lower, in order to enhance the incorporation of the interventions into the daily life of the KTC. During the intervention period, participants will receive counseling by a lifestyle coach.
