Transplantation and employment earnings in kidney transplant recipients
JAMA Network Open
About The Study: In this cohort study of 3,230 kidney transplant recipients, kidney transplant was associated with a reversal of declining employment income, indicating meaningful economic recovery. These findings highlight the broader socioeconomic value of transplantation and may inform policies that support patients during pretransplant vulnerability and facilitate successful return to work.
