NCT ID NCT07611500
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 50,000 living kidney donors in Canada to see if they are more likely to develop kidney stones years after donating, compared to similar people who never donated. Researchers used health records from 1992 to 2024 to track surgeries or hospital visits for kidney stones. The goal is to understand the long-term safety of living kidney donation.
