New study links blood pressure and fluid levels in kidney transplant patients
NCT ID NCT05039788
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 57 kidney transplant patients to see if high blood pressure is related to having too much fluid in the body. Patients measured their blood pressure and fluid levels at home between 30 and 90 days after their transplant. The goal was to find a connection that could improve future care.
