Blood test may replace needles for kids with kidney rejection
NCT ID NCT05477082
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a blood test can help doctors know if treatment for kidney rejection is working in children who have had a kidney transplant. About 27 kids will give blood samples to check for special markers. The goal is to see if the blood test can predict and monitor rejection, possibly reducing the need for repeated kidney biopsies.
