Harmless virus levels may predict transplant complications
NCT ID NCT05836636
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 172 kidney transplant recipients who were on stable anti-rejection medication for at least 3 months. Researchers measured levels of a common, harmless virus (Torque Teno Virus) in their blood to see if it could predict serious infections or organ rejection. The goal was to find a simple test that helps doctors personalize medication and improve long-term outcomes.
