Could removing a catheter sooner after kidney transplant cut infection risk?
NCT ID NCT07681843
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This trial compares removing a urinary catheter on day 3 versus day 6 after a living donor kidney transplant. The goal is to see if earlier removal reduces urinary tract infections within 30 days without causing more complications like urine leaks. The study involves 172 adult kidney transplant recipients who have normal bladder function and are not at high risk for surgical problems.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If early removal works, it could lower infection rates and shorten hospital stays for kidney transplant recipients.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 172 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Early removal might increase urinary complications like leaks.
