Sponsor

University Hospital, Martin

Enrollment

50 participants

Start Date

Oct 1, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Frailty Syndrome

Summary

This prospective cohort study investigates physical frailty, assessed by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), in patients evaluated for kidney transplantation. The study aims to compare SPPB scores before listing, annually during the waiting period, and after transplantation at 6 and 12 months. It also includes a control group of dialysis patients not eligible for transplantation to evaluate differences in physical performance. The goal is to understand how frailty impacts transplant outcomes and patient recovery.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is looking at how physical fitness measures — such as the ability to stand up and walk — can predict outcomes for patients being evaluated for a kidney transplant. Better physical performance tests could help doctors make fairer transplant decisions. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You are currently on dialysis and being evaluated for a kidney transplant - You are able and willing to participate **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are under 18 - You are unable to give informed consent - You have an acute medical condition that prevents you from safely completing the physical performance tests Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
