Summary

This study tests a one-month course of three medicines (isoniazid, rifapentine, and vitamin B6) for latent tuberculosis in 25 adults with end-stage kidney disease who are candidates for a kidney transplant. The goal is to see if the short treatment is safe and if patients can complete it. Latent TB is a dormant infection that could become active after transplant, so treating it beforehand may reduce risks.
