Comparison of individual symptom burdens at evaluation (n=1298), admission for kidney transplantation (n=521), and 3 months post-transplantation (n=452). Burden at evaluation was examined among candidates who were enrolled at evaluation for kidney transplant, and burden at admission for transplantation and 3 months post-transplantation was examined among recipients who were enrolled at admission for kidney transplantation and followed up approximately 1, 3, and 6 months and yearly post-transplantation. Participants reported burdens of individual symptoms with five response options ranging from “not at all bothered” to “extremely bothered.” The prevalence of each individual symptom was defined as participants reported being moderately to extremely bothered by the symptom. Dialysis site–related symptom was not assessed after transplantation.
