Blood test aims to balance infection and rejection risks in kidney transplants
NCT ID NCT01424345
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a blood test called ImmuKnow can help doctors better manage anti-rejection drugs in kidney transplant patients. The goal was to reduce infections while still preventing organ rejection. Only 4 patients were enrolled before the study was stopped early, so the results are very limited.
