New ultrasound test aims to detect muscle wasting in kidney transplant patients
NCT ID NCT07607236
First seen May 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study will check if a muscle ultrasound can reliably detect muscle loss (sarcopenia) in 140 adults getting a kidney transplant. Researchers will compare ultrasound results with a standard body-composition test before and up to one year after transplant. If it works, this could offer a quick, noninvasive way to monitor muscle health in these patients.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simple, radiation-free way to diagnose muscle wasting in kidney transplant patients, improving early detection and management.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study with only 140 participants at one center. The ultrasound method may not prove accurate enough to replace current techniques.
