This award funds research to understand how patient capacity affects treatment choices and outcomes in chronic kidney disease, focusing on renal replacement therapy and transplant eligibility.
Description
The study aims to determine if patient capacity among CKD patients who progress to kidney failure correlates with the choice of renal replacement therapy (RRT), assess whether higher capacity predicts switching to more desirable RRT forms, and evaluate if patient capacity is prognostic for transplant referral, approval, or death on the transplant waitlist among eligible CKD/ESKD patients.
