Change in symptom burden at evaluation and admission for kidney transplantation among the combined kidney transplant candidate and recipient cohorts (n=190). Transplant candidates were enrolled at evaluation; recipients were enrolled at admission for transplantation. The overall symptoms score ranged from zero to 100 points and was on the basis of self-reported burden of individual symptom/problem of kidney disease with five response options ranging from “not at all bothered” to “extremely bothered.” Symptom burden was defined as very high: 0.0–71.0; high: 71.1–81.0; medium: 81.1–91.0, and low: 91.1–100.0.
