Kidney Transplantation

In a substantial improvement scenario, transplant recipients in Group A are expected to reduce mean Frailty Index from 0.23 at baseline to 0.06 at 12 months. Collection of oral microcirculation, blood, or stool immediately after kidney transplant surgery is not feasible due to acute haemodynamic changes and medications affecting the microbiome. Living kidney donors undergo rigorous medical, psychological, social, surgical, and social-work assessment to preserve impartiality. Living donors can receive Australian Government financial support including reimbursement for up to 18 weeks of paid leave, out-of-pocket costs, and travel assistance.
