Summary

This study tests whether a nurse-led program of education and telephone counseling can help kidney transplant recipients take their anti-rejection medications more consistently. Sixty adult patients will be randomly assigned to either the program or standard care. The goal is to see if this simple support improves medication adherence and, ultimately, helps protect the transplanted kidney.

Active substance
Education and telephone counseling program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to help kidney transplant patients take their anti-rejection medications consistently, potentially reducing graft loss.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is behavioral, so its effect may be modest or hard to sustain long-term.
