How does the walk distance vary after renal transplantation from other patient groups i.e. Cardiac rehabilitation ; Do we have established reference values in renal population
Can you share some recently publications in this field? Or recommend a specified lite?
There are less reference equations for specific disease but you can find something interest in this article:

Thanks. Reference for healthy adult is found. But I need it in post renal transplant.

Try this reference form the American Thoracic Society:
Am J Respir Crit Care Med Vol 166. pp 111–117, 2002 DOI: 10.1164/rccm.166/1/111 Internet address: www.atsjournals.org
It includes two references to those with lung transplantation.
300 m is the common reference value in cardiac patients, including heart transplant, but I can't precise this value post-renal transplant patients.
Dr. Senthil, What would be the reference value for Renal Transplant followed by Angioplasty (after about two decades) ? Any specific advice ?
