Urine test may outsmart blood test for kidney rejection
NCT ID NCT07415876
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a urine test for a protein called CXCL10 can catch kidney transplant rejection that a standard blood test misses. Researchers will compare the urine test to biopsy results in 50 kidney transplant patients. They will also check if the urine samples can be shipped at room temperature without affecting accuracy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
urinary CXCL10 test
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more accurate, non-invasive urine test for kidney transplant rejection, reducing the need for biopsies.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (50 participants) focused on diagnostic accuracy, not treatment. The test may not prove reliable enough for widespread use.
