Family support and caregiver involvement are important for access to pediatric pre-emptive kidney transplantation

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between family and social support (FSS) and access to pre-emptive kidney transplantation (PKT) in children with stage 5 chronic kidney disease. Their findings indicate that adequate FSS is significantly associated with higher rates of PKT, highlighting the importance of strengthening family support networks and caregiver involvement to improve transplantation outcomes for pediatric patients.
