NKF Serving Northern California

Part 4 of the series Navigating Transplant, A Guide to Empowering Your Patients, focuses on the psychosocial and mental health dimensions of kidney transplantation. Covering the long span of the transplant experience, our expert presenter will demystify the components of the pre-transplant psychosocial assessment, discuss transitioning pre-transplant care needs to the independence that comes with being a recipient, reinforce the importance of educating and encouraging living donation and offer strategies on ways to talk with patients and care partners about the challenges and emotions integral to the transplant journey. This session takes place on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, 12 PM PT - 1 PM PT.

Learning Objectives

• Identify and address psychosocial considerations in the transplant evaluation process
• Appreciate the contraindications for kidney transplantation & understanding the kidney transplant work up process

On Sunday, June 23, 2024, the 2024 Northern California Kidney Walk returns to PayPal Park in San Jose!

Through this event, we raised awareness about Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) which affects 37 million Americans, and allowed many in Northern California affected with CKD to connect with others in their community.
