Abstract
At Flinders Medical Centre (FMC), a retrospective/prospective study was performed comparing body mass index (BMI) data collection in patients attending the nurse-led clinic, as an alternative to data collection in transplant recipients using the Australia and New Zealand Data (ANZDATA) method of data collection. The aim is to understand prevalence of high BMI post kidney transplantation, and to determine if a nurse practitioner (NP)-led wellness clinic can have a positive impact in relation to weight management in this patient cohort.
