NCT ID NCT02911714
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special ultrasound that uses a contrast dye to get clearer images of a new kidney after transplant. The goal was to see if this method could help doctors find early signs of problems like rejection or slow function. The study was small (20 people) and was stopped early, but it may help improve how we monitor kidney transplants.
