Obesity blocks kidney transplants: new study investigates why
NCT ID NCT04748770
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 100 obese patients starting dialysis to understand why they are less likely to receive a kidney transplant. Researchers will track health changes over two years and compare them to non-obese patients. The goal is to identify barriers and improve access to transplants.
