Empowering Patients to Self-Care Dialysis Previous to Kidney Transplantation Does Not Warrant Adherence to Immunosuppression
F. Ortiz¹, I. Helanterä²
¹Nephrology, Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland, ²Kidney and Liver Transplantation, Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland
*Purpose: Nonadherence to immunosuppression increases the risk of kidney graft loss. We hypothesized that patient education to self-care dialysis has a positive impact on adherence…
