A Study to Analyze Weight Gain in Post-Kidney Transplant Subjects

Overview

About this study

The main purpose of this study is to investigate pre-transplant risk factors and beliefs regarding weight gain in patients with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who have undergone a kidney transplant. The aim is to guide an understanding of the rationale behind weight gain and an exploration of potential preventative measures, ultimately resulting in recommendations for future patient-centered interventions at a Midwestern tertiary healthcare center. The research question follows the PICOT format: population, intervention, comparison, outcome, and time. The question of interest is: In adult patients ≥ 18 years of age with T2DM who received a kidney transplant (P), that have gained >5% body weight (I) compared to those who have not (C) what is the impact of pre-transplant risk factors and T2DM disease burden, psychological, and physiological factors on weight gain (O) 1 year after transplant (T)?
