Tracking the Impact of Kidney Transplant

Kidney Transplantation can be a very stressful time. We are doing this study to learn more about what factors help reduce the risk of depression, PTSD, memory changes, and other mental health disorders after a kidney transplant. We want to learn the role of different factors to help us anticipate who could benefit from extra support during and after a kidney transplant.
