Diagnostic testThis study is a prospective cross-sectional study to assess the prevalence of frailty among 80 cases of renal transplanted patients. Specific tests will include: 1. Assessment of frailty by Clinical Frailty Scale. 2. Assessment of nutritional status using Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA). 3. Comorbidity assessment using Charlson comorbidity score. 4. Six minutes walk test. 5. Muscle strength assessment using hand grip strength (HGS) dynamometer.
