Overview
Affiliations
Objective: The purpose of this review was to examine potential barriers to adulthood transition for children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Results: The literature was reviewed in regards to medical, neuropsychological, psychiatric and psychosocial barriers that may impede successful transition. Adults with CKD since childhood have been found to be at increased risk for neurocognitive impairment, low educational attainment, unemployment, psychiatric disability, and psychosocial adjustment.
Conclusion: Based on the available literature, intervention strategies are discussed in addition to directions for future research.
