Abstract

Background: Although kidney transplantation is the best treatment for kidney failure, scarce research has examined its effects on physical activity, physical function, and quality of life. Objectives: To investigate the experiences of a group of adults living with advanced kidney disease focusing on...

Methods: Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with adults with advanced kidney disease (n=10; 70.5 &#xB1; 8.9 years) and adults who had received a kidney transplant (n=10; 50.7 &#xB1; 11.5 years; transplant age: 42.7 &#xB1; 20.9 months).
