Overview
Kidney transplantation represents the best therapeutical option in patients in end-stage kidney disease. At present, increasing number of older patients are referred for kidney transplantation. The comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) of functional status in older kidney transplant candidates might play an important and supportive role in the pre-transplant evaluation process. In the CoGeriaTx study, frailty is evaluated by CGA while Fried Frailty Phenotype (FFP) criteria are considered as one part of the comprehensive evaluation. Two examples compare the method and the results of frailty evaluation according to CGA and when using FFP alone. Further research may provide new insights into the predictive value of CGA in this target group.
