There is a link between psychological pain and renal function as well as between income marital status and the social class of the kidney transplant patients. Although kidney transplantation improves quality of life, patients may experience a variety of psychological conditions that are linked to an increased risk of morbidity and death and even the emergence of end-stage renal disease dependent on dialysis. 46% of kidney transplant recipients were termed upset if their scores were less than 5 according to a general health questionnaire. The primary emphasis of this review study is depression, which is the most prevalent psychological condition among kidney transplant recipients. The prevalence of depression among kidney transplant recipients, risk factors for depression among kidney transplant recipients, clinical outcomes, and essential preventative measures are all covered in detail in this review study.
