Simple bathroom habit may cut infection risk after kidney transplant
NCT ID NCT05711446
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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 double voiding to usual voiding in 438 adult kidney transplant patients. If effective, this low-cost, no-risk habit could improve outcomes for transplant recipients.
