Immune cell test may predict kidney graft problems
NCT ID NCT04414111
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether measuring a specific type of immune cell (called highly suppressive Treg) before a kidney transplant can predict if the new kidney will work slowly or need dialysis. Researchers will test blood samples from 180 adult kidney transplant candidates. The goal is to find a reliable biomarker to guide organ allocation and reduce complications.
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 help doctors match donated kidneys to patients less likely to have complications, and guide new immune-based treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational biomarker study, not a treatment trial. The test may not accurately predict outcomes, and results may not change clinical practice.
