NCT ID NCT03024229
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether analyzing the fluid used to preserve kidneys on a LifePort® machine could help predict how well the kidney will work after transplant. Researchers measured chemicals in the fluid and compared them to early kidney function in 40 recipients. The goal is to find a better way to assess organ quality before surgery.
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 successful, this could lead to a new way to assess kidney quality before transplant, potentially reducing the risk of delayed function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study with only 40 participants. The findings may not apply to all transplant centers or improve actual outcomes.
