Abstract: Purpose: In kidney transplant recipients, concurrent depression and frailty is associated with a greater likelihood of graft failure and mortality. Ideally, depression and frailty are proactively addressed in the pre-transplant period to prevent these poor outcomes. However, the pre-transplant prevalence of concurrent depression and frailty has not been well studied. To determine the precise treatment need, we examined the prevalence of depression with 1) prefrailty or 2) frailty in kidney transplant candidates.
