Liver transplant patients get kidney Check-Up: what biopsies reveal
NCT ID NCT05326399
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is for adults who have had a liver transplant and now have kidney issues. Researchers want to learn how often kidney function gets worse and what factors might cause that decline. They will look at results from kidney biopsies already done in the past 3 months. The goal is to better understand kidney disease in these patients, not to test a new treatment.
