Biopsy clues: will the new kidney work?
NCT ID NCT01271465
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at small pieces of donor kidney tissue to see if certain substances could predict how well the organ would work after transplant. Researchers tested blood, urine, and biopsy samples from 24 kidney transplant recipients. The goal was to find early signs of organ problems, not to provide a new treatment.
