KIDNEY TRANSPLANT; COMPLICATIONS

This study compares two drugs used to prevent CMV, a common and serious viral infection, in African American kidney transplant patients. Researchers want to see if a newer drug called letermovir works as well as the standard drug valganciclovir but causes fewer side effects, part…

This study is testing a new approach for people who have received a kidney transplant. After the kidney transplant, patients get a bone marrow transplant from the same donor. The goal is to 're-educate' the patient's immune system to accept the new kidney, potentially allowing th…

This study is testing which type of IV fluid is better for people right after a kidney transplant. Researchers want to see if one fluid helps keep the body's salt and acid levels more balanced, which might help the new kidney work better. About 60 transplant patients will get eit…

This study is testing whether using a robot to assist with kidney transplant surgery leads to fewer complications than traditional open surgery. It involves 106 adult patients receiving a kidney transplant, who are randomly assigned to have either the robotic or the open procedur…

This study compares two versions of the same anti-rejection medication for kidney transplant patients. Researchers want to see if a new once-daily pill is better for blood vessel health and provides more consistent drug levels than the standard twice-daily version. The study invo…

This study tests whether a short course of two drugs can prevent hepatitis C from spreading when an organ from an infected donor is transplanted into an uninfected patient. It involves 200 kidney, heart, lung, or pancreas transplant recipients who agree to accept an organ from a …

This study aims to find a biological marker that can predict which kidney transplant patients are at high risk for their new organ to work slowly or fail after surgery. Researchers will measure a specific type of protective immune cell in 180 adult patients just before their tran…
