Prediction of Nonadherence and Renal Prognosis by Pre-Transplantation Serum Phosphate Levels

摘要

BackgroundIdentifying characteristics of patients at high risk of poor adherence before transplantation would be advantageous. However, the optimal approach for characterizing such patients remains unknown. We aimed to evaluate the association between factors for hemodialysis nonadherence and post-transplant renal prognosis. We hypothesized that these factors would influence post-transplantation adherence and worsen renal prognosis.
