New MRI study aims to improve kidney donor selection
NCT ID NCT06047106
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses special MRI scans to look at how well a donated kidney works in the recipient and how the donor's remaining kidney adapts over one year. It includes 80 adults (donors and recipients) and aims to help doctors choose the best kidneys for transplant. The goal is to better understand kidney function without invasive tests.
