The growing number of persons who have successful renal transplants and the challenges they undergo as they adjust to changed lifestyles increases the need for knowledge of the recipient’s view of the changes resulting from the transplantation process. One area for exploration is the recipient’s perception of the symptoms that occur after transplantation. The purpose of this study was to determine symptom occurrence and symptom distress following renal transplantation and their relationships to quality of life in patients with renal transplants.
