Comparison of Depression, Stress, Anxiety, Cognitive Status, and Quality of Life Before and After Renal Transplantation.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease is a prevalent and life-altering condition that significantly impacts quality of life. Kidney transplantation (KT) is an effective treatment for CKD, but it may also trigger psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairment. This study aims to compare the levels of depression, anxiety, stress, cognitive status, and quality of life in KT recipients before and after surgery.
