Kidney Week 2025 Early Program - Care of Kidney Transplant Candidates and Recipients-Welcome and Introduction to Case

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The session opens with chairs Karen True (UNC) and Vanita Kumar (UAB) outlining housekeeping items (disclosures, recording availability, evaluations, device silencing, and securing valuables). They describe a new case-based format following one kidney transplant patient through all phases, with short 10–15 minute talks and substantial audience discussion. The featured case is a 52-year-old woman with advanced CKD seeking waitlisting (blood type A, BMI 41), living in the Midwest, with 20 years of diabetes, no native biopsy, and no heart disease. She’s married, doesn’t drive, and is reluctant to accept her children as living donors.
