Background: Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. It increases life expectancy, improves quality of life, achieves greater physical and occupational rehabilitation compared with maintenance haemodialysis. The rationale of this study is to determine reasons for preference of lifelong haemodialysis over kidney transplantation. This study may give us an insight to how this important and life altering decision is made by the patients. Objective: To determine the reasons for preference of kidney transplantation over lifelong hemodialysis.Material and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study on 329 ESRD patients was conducted in Nephrology Department, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar. During a period of 8 months, from September 2021 till April 2022. Data was collected by non-Probability consecutive sampling technique. Subjects who were willing to participate were included in the study after taking written informed consent.Results: A total of 329 patients were observed with mean age of 51 years with SD ± 10.21. Male patients were 204 (62%), and 125(38%) patients were female. In our study 227(69%) patients agreed for kidney transplant while 102(31%) patients refused kidney transplantation. Main reason for acceptance was freedom from haemodialysis 122(37%), on the other hand, 10(3%) patients refused because of surgical complications of transplant surgery & 33(10%) patients refused because of financial constraints.Conclusion: Our study concludes that 69% of ESRD patients were willing for kidney transplantation, main reasons being freedom from haemodialysis, fluid constraints, diet restrictions.Keywords: Kidney transplant, End stage renal disease (ESRD), Hemodialysis.

“…According to the World Health Organization's Global Organ Donation and Transplantation data, a total of 77,319 kidney transplants were performed worldwide by 2017, of which 10,793, or 13.95 percent, were performed in China, ranking second in the world (7). As one of renal replacement therapy, kidney transplantation can effectively improve the survival rate and quality of life of patients with CKD, and significantly reduce the cost of medical care, which is also recognized as the first choice of treatment (8,9). But post-transplant patients need to have sufficient knowledge of immunosuppressive drugs, health management, infection prevention, and transplant rejection symptoms to take care of themselves (10).…”

ObjectiveTo investigate the kidney transplantation knowledge of kidney transplant (KT) candidates and recipients, and to explore the related influencing factors.MethodsFrom March to July 2022, a total of 170 KT candidates and 270 KT recipients were investigated in two tertiary and Grade A hospitals in Hunan Province, China, using demographic questionnaires and the Kidney Transplant Understanding Tool (K-TUT). Multiple linear regression was used to explore the influencing factors of related knowledge of kidney transplantation.ResultsThe scores of kidney transplantation knowledge of the two groups were 50.67 (Ranged: 0–63) and 52.79 (Ranged: 0–62), indicating a middle level of knowledge. Education level and whether they have received health education were significantly associated with the knowledge level of kidney transplantation in both KT candidates and recipients. In addition, age and fertility status were only significantly associated with the knowledge level of kidney transplantation in KT recipients.ConclusionOur finding shows that the knowledge level of KT candidates and recipients is not optimistic, which suggests that healthcare providers should pay more attention to the health education of this population. In addition, future health education interventions should consider the education level, age, and fertility status factors affecting kidney transplantation knowledge in KT candidates and recipients.

Purpose This study aimed to identify knowledge measurement tools for kidney transplantation (KT) and confirm their assessment methods, domains, and validity to provide useful information. Design An integrative review based on Whittemore and Knafl’s (2005) framework and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Methods An integrative search was conducted using four English databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library) and the top three Korean databases (RISS, DBpia, and KISS). Search terms and strategies included (“kidney transplant*” OR “renal transplant*” OR “kidney replace*” OR “renal replace*” OR “kidney graft” OR “renal graft”) & (knowledge OR awareness) & (scale OR tool OR instrument OR questionnaire OR inventory). The time limit was set to February 2022. The extracted data included the content of the tools, participants, and psychometrics. Quality of life was assessed using a psychometric grading framework. Results A total of 15 studies and 13 tools were reviewed. Of these, seven studies (46.7%) targeted KT patients, five (33.3%) targeted KT candidates, and three (20.0%) included both groups. The number of items in the tools ranged from five to 33 items. Furthermore, seven tools comprised true-false questions and eight multiple-choice questions. The domains of the KT knowledge measurement tool used in each study differed across study participants. Both reliability and validity were confirmed in six tools, and only two showed a grade of “adequate” or higher. Conclusion A validated tool is required to measure KT knowledge. These tools can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions in promoting self-management after KT. Protocol registration number CRD42022334559.
