CAPABLE Transplant for Kidney Transplant Waitlist Candidates

This study, called CAPABLE Transplant, is testing a program designed to help people on the kidney transplant waitlist. It aims to address challenges that might prevent you from being active on the waitlist and to prepare you for transplant surgery, especially if you are considered frail or pre-frail. The program involves personalized support from an occupational therapist and a registered nurse over 4 months. The study will enroll about 43 participants and is looking to see if this program helps people become active on the waitlist. You may be eligible if you are 18 to 99 years old, on the deceased donor waitlist, and meet certain criteria related to your waitlist status or income.
