The improvement in morbidity and mortality observed with kidney transplantation is often
curtailed by post-transplant weight gain, which is common among kidney transplant recipients
(KTR). Post-transplant weight gain is associated with serious health issues such as
cardiovascular disease, new onset diabetes after transplantation, and graft failure. Although
these adverse effects of post-transplant weight gain are well recognized, interventions that
target the modifiable risk factors of diet and physical activity to address
post-transplantation weight gain are lacking. The purpose of this study is to test the
feasibility of an in-home, televideo health coaching to increase the healthy behaviors of
KTRs who are 6 months post-transplantation.
