Objective: As increasing number of young people with renal diseases are reaching adulthood and issues related to their transition to adult units are getting more important. Failure to transfer adolescents under a well-designed transfer program can lead to a decline in attendance to an adult unit. We aim to share our experience and the views of the patients who went through a transition program.
