Despite the well-established need for good transitional care in paediatric solid-organ transplant recipients, models tailored specifically for kidney transplant recipients are lacking. Further research and validation studies are required, to ascertain the most best method of providing effective transitional care to these patients. Transitional care should become a standardised process for adolescents and young adults with a kidney transplant.
