The transition of care for Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) with kidney disorders from pediatric to adult providers is best seen as a process that evolves over the years and involves developing self-management skills related to kidney care in AYA.
This presentation will provide a primer for key concepts involved in successful transition processes and include a useful glossary for those involved in the care of AYA with kidney disorders. Useful outcomes for a successful transition for these AYA and for formal transition programs for these AYA will also be outlined.
