Summary

The purpose of study is to measure the quality of life (QOL) of patients pre and post kidney transplant by asking them to fill out a survey. Patients will be asked to fill out the survey before transplant, 3 months post-transplant, and 1 year post-transplant to see how the transplant relates to any progression in quality of life.

QOL will be assessed to correlate the quality of life and aspects of renal function prospectively at pre and post-transplant across all ethnicities and variances of donor types at three time points. First, there will be a prospective assessment of QOL in the Hispanic and Non-Hispanic kidney recipients before and after transplant at NMH and Colombiana de Transplantes. Second, there will be an assessment of the Hispanic kidney patients that have been transplanted over the last 10 years at NMH and Colombiana de Transplantes, in a cross-sectional fashion. Third, there will be a comparison and determination of the differences in QOL in the Hispanic population before and after the Hispanic Transplant program was initiated in November 2006. Lastly, there will be an assessment of the social impact of the services that NMH's Hispanic Transplant Program provides to patients.

The questionnaires completed by the subjects at NMH will be the same questionnaires completed by the subjects in Colombia. The data obtained from Colombiana de Transplantes will be de-identified data and provided to us via a password protected excel file delivered to the principal investigator electronically.
