Tiny study aims to unravel proteinuria mystery in kidney transplant patients
NCT ID NCT06051812
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study follows 25 people with end-stage kidney disease who are receiving a living donor kidney transplant. Researchers want to see how protein in the urine (proteinuria) relates to blood flow in the native kidneys before and after transplant. They also check for changes in tiny blood vessels in the eye. The goal is to better understand why proteinuria often drops after transplant and how it might affect heart health.
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 study could help doctors better understand why proteinuria drops after kidney transplant and how it relates to heart risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with only 25 participants. It is not testing a treatment, so it will not directly change patient care.
