Daily use of a muscle pump activator device reduces duration of hospitalization and improves early graft outcomes post-kidney transplantation: A randomized controlled trial.

CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative use of the MPA device increases urine output, decreases leg edema, minimizes weight gain, and decreases duration of hospitalization after kidney transplantation. A larger and longer-term trial is needed to evaluate the impact on graft function.
