New scan could spot kidney transplant trouble early, spare patients from biopsies

NCT ID NCT02911714

Summary

This study tested a new type of ultrasound scan to see if it could spot early complications in kidney transplant patients. The scan uses a safe contrast dye to get a clearer picture of blood flow in the new kidney. Researchers hoped this method could help doctors detect problems sooner and reduce the need for invasive kidney biopsies.
