Can a single drug dose forecast transplant kidney health?
NCT ID NCT03071536
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether a standard dose of furosemide, a common diuretic, can serve as a stress test to predict how well a transplanted kidney will function. Participants receive the drug shortly after kidney transplant surgery, and their urine output is measured. The goal is to see if this response can help identify early signs of delayed graft function, potentially guiding post-operative care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Furosemide injection
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simple, early test to predict how well a transplanted kidney will function, helping doctors tailor care sooner.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't change outcomes directly. The test's accuracy may vary, and it might not reliably predict long-term graft function.
