Abstract:
The transition from adolescent to adult increases the risk of post-operative related complications for adolescent kidney transplant recipients, and inadequate preparation for the transition can lead to low adherence to immunosuppressive medications and low appointment rates. Therefore, improving the quality of transitional care is the key to reduce the complication rate and readmission rate of adolescent kidney transplant recipients. This article elaborates on the concept of the transitional period from adolescence to adulthood in kidney transplant recipients, the timing and influencing factors of transitional care, transitional preparation assessment tools, and intervention measures, aiming to provide reference for the standardized transitional care of adolescent kidney transplant recipients in China in the future.
