Patients with moderate to severe pain after kidney transplantation report lower social participation, highlighting the need for more clinical attention to chronic pain management in this population. A study presented at ASN Kidney Week analyzed data from 282 kidney transplant recipients and found that those with higher pain interference levels were less likely to participate in social activities. The study suggests that specialized symptom management clinics may be beneficial in managing pain in kidney transplant recipients. The findings emphasize the impact of chronic pain on quality of life and the importance of addressing this issue in clinical care.
