Navigating the Emotional Landscape of Kidney Allograft Failure
Key takeaways
This journal piece discusses the emotional side of losing a transplanted kidney: the grief, fear and stress that can come when a transplant stops working. It is a discussion piece, not a study, so there are no results yet. It argues that care teams should pay attention to these feelings as part of treatment.
