ClinConnect Summary

The "Smart and Fit for Kidney Transplantation" trial is designed to help patients with chronic kidney disease who are waiting for a kidney transplant. The study will include 200 participants who are currently on dialysis. Researchers want to see if providing personalized nutritional advice and exercise support, along with a complete rehabilitation program, will improve health outcomes compared to a group that does not receive this support.

To participate, patients must be at least 18 years old, own a smartphone, and be willing to take part in rehabilitation during the study. They should also be physically and mentally able to engage in exercise and nutritional counseling. If you join the study, you can expect personalized guidance to help prepare for your transplant. This trial is actively recruiting participants, so if you think it could be a good fit for you or a loved one, consider reaching out for more information!
