KIDNEY TRANSPLANT; COMPLICATIONS

This study tests a program that helps people with obesity who are waiting for a kidney transplant lose weight. Participants will receive education, a calorie tracking app, a continuous glucose monitor, a weight scale, and a food scale. The goal is to see if this program is practi…

This study tests whether a simple technique called double voiding—urinating twice in one bathroom visit—can reduce urinary tract infections (UTIs) in kidney transplant recipients. UTIs are common after transplant and can lead to serious complications. The trial will compare doubl…

This study tests whether finerenone, a drug already used for kidney disease, can help protect transplanted kidneys. About 100 adults who received a kidney transplant 1 to 10 years ago will take either finerenone or a placebo daily for 12 months. Researchers will check how well th…

This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) helps kidney transplant recipients with type 2 diabetes keep their blood sugar in a healthy range. Eighty adults who received a kidney transplant within the past year and use insulin will wear a Dexcom G6 sensor th…

This study tests whether giving CytoGam® (CMV immunoglobulin) after standard antiviral treatment can prevent late CMV infection in high-risk kidney or liver transplant recipients. About 80 participants who are CMV-negative but receive an organ from a CMV-positive donor will be en…

This study tests whether giving a donor kidney a 4-6 hour warm bath on a machine (normothermic machine perfusion) right before transplant helps it work better a year later. The trial includes 240 adults receiving a kidney from a donor aged 50 or older. Half get the standard cold …

This study is testing whether a drug called Cytogam (CMVIG) can prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in kidney transplant patients who are switching to a new immunosuppressant. The researchers will measure antibody levels in 30 adult patients over 8 weeks to see how the drug w…

This study tests two different approaches to prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in adults who have received a kidney from a CMV-positive donor but are themselves CMV-negative. One group will take daily antiviral medicine for 200 days after transplant, while the other group wil…

This registry study is collecting blood and urine samples from 60 kidney transplant recipients who have BK virus infection. Researchers want to understand how the immune system responds to the virus and how immunosuppressive drugs affect that response. The goal is to find better …

This study follows 60 kidney transplant recipients in Denmark to find out how often blood vessel problems cause poor kidney function or hard-to-treat high blood pressure. Participants will get special imaging tests, and if a narrowed artery is found, they may receive balloon trea…

This study is testing whether a special CT scan of the heart (CTCA) can better predict heart attacks and other heart problems in people waiting for a kidney transplant. About 332 patients on the transplant list will get a single CTCA scan before their surgery. Researchers will th…
