The scores of the Chinese version of the Self-Management and Transitional Readiness Questionnaire were used to determine the readiness status of the study subjects, and binary logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 242 questionnaires were distributed, and 12 invalid questionnaires were excluded, resulting in the inclusion of 230 samples for the analysis. Transitional readiness was at a low level in 123 cases (53.48%) and at a medium-high level in 107 cases (46.52%). The results of the binary logistic regression showed that the number of hospitalizations, treatment modalities, place of residence, caregiver's literacy, monthly income, and healthcare payment method were influencing factors for transition readiness in adolescent patients with kidney disease (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The readiness of adolescent patients with kidney disease during their transition to adulthood is not ideal and is affected by a combination of factors related to themselves, their families, and their socioeconomic status.
