AB  - Post–kidney transplant patients often experience complications such as reduced kidney function, hypertension, weight gain, and hyperlipidemia. Physical inactivity may contribute to these problems, yet its relationship with kidney function after transplant is not well understood. This pilot study evaluated whether kidney function is associated with physical activity levels in 20 renal transplant recipients who wore accelerometers for one week. Only one participant met CDC physical activity guidelines. Higher serum creatinine was positively associated with minutes of activity, while blood urea nitrogen showed no association. Findings suggest kidney function may influence post‑transplant activity levels, warranting larger studies that account for medications, diet, and additional confounders.
