The literature search included cross-sectional or cohort studies published in English between January 1966 and August 2020 in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases.

Dialysis patients were on average 52.6\u2009years old (range: 16\u201379; 60.3% male), and kidney transplant patients were 46.7\u2009years old (range: 18\u201378; 59.8% male). The employment rate (weighted mean) for dialysis patients was 26.3% (range: 10.5\u201359.7%); the employment rate was 36.9% pretransplant (range: 25\u201386%) and 38.2% posttransplant (range: 14.2\u201385%). Predictors for employment during dialysis and posttransplant were male, gender, age, being without diabetes, peritoneal dialysis, and higher educational level, and predictors of posttransplant: pretransplant employment included transplantation with a living donor kidney, and being without depression.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Patients with kidney failure had a low employment rate during dialysis and pre- and posttransplant.
