AB077. Initial study of smartphone-based intervention to improve the medical adherence in living donor renal transplant recipients

摘要

ObjectiveRenal transplantation is considered to be the preferred treatment comparing with dialysis. However, the inherent risk of renal transplantation brings lifelong regimen of immunosuppressive medication and active surveillance. It is known that poor compliance can increase 60% risk of graft failure. Intervention targeting behavioral risk factors or a combination of behavioral, educational and emotional changes has positive effect in medication adherence. These interventions need to be utilized by a well-established and organized healthcare system. In China, most of living donor renal transplantation recipients are from rural area which is still facing healthcare shortages. We found some of post-transplanted patients were using smartphone apps to manage their medication to avoid medication missing. The present retrospective study is to discuss the feasibility of smartphone app on medical compliance intervention in living donor renal transplantation patients in China.
