NCT ID NCT07401953
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study examines whether people who donate a kidney have a higher long-term risk of breaking bones like the hip, wrist, or pelvis. Researchers will compare 50,000 living kidney donors from Canada to a matched group of healthy non-donors using health records from 1992 to 2024. The goal is to provide clearer information for donors and doctors when making decisions about donation.
