Background
Self-management support systems (SMSS) have been proposed for renal transplant patients to increase their autonomy and reduce the number of hospital visits. For the design and implementation of such systems, it is important to understand factors influencing patient ...

Self-Monitoring Kidney Function Post Transplantation
Reliability of Patient-Reported Data
Background: The high frequency of outpatient visits after kidney transplantation is burdensome to both the recovering patient and health care capacity. Self-monitoring kidney function offers a promising strategy to reduce the number of these outpatient visits. Objective: The obje

Reduced quality of life in living kidney donors
Association with fatigue, societal participation and pre-donation variables
Health related quality of life (HRQoL) of living kidney donors on average is good, but some donors experience a low HRQoL after donation. This study assessed the prevalence of reduced HRQoL and explored associations with pre- and post-donation variables. 316 donors (response rate

Decision making around living and deceased donor kidney transplantation
A qualitative study exploring the importance of expected relationship changes
Background: Limited data exist on the impact of living kidney donation on the donor-recipient relationship. Purpose of this study was to explore motivations to donate or accept a (living donor) kidney, whether expected relationship changes influence decision making and whether re

Pancreas-kidney transplantations with primary bladder drainage followed by enteric conversion
Graft survival and outcomes
Background. In the Leiden University Medical Centre, a two-step approach is routinely used in simultaneous pancreaskidney (SPK) transplantations: primary bladder drainage (BD) followed by elective enteric conversion. The rationale for this approach is to prevent the short-term di
