Immunosuppressive nonadherence is a risk factor for worse outcomes after kidney transplantation (KT). Brazil, having the world's largest public, fully covered transplantation system and the second-highest KT volume worldwide, provides a unique setting for studying multilevel correlates of nonadherence (patient, healthcare provider, transplant center, and healthcare system levels) independent of patients' financial burden.
