First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a digital program (videos, texts, and optional phone support) can help people with kidney failure get more inquiries from potential living donors. About 430 adults referred for a kidney transplant will be randomly assigned to get the program with or without a human guide. The main goal is to count how many donor inquiries come in within 6 months.
