Data for: Tolerance of Organ Transplant Recipients to Physical Activity during a High-Altitude Expedition: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro

In this research project the tolerance of persons after various types of organ transplantation to strenuous physical activity at high altitude was studied. The tolerance of this group was compared to non-transplanted controls. This was performed during an expedition to Mount Kilimanjaro

Transplant recipients and medical team at the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
