Transplant breakdown? new study checks organ fluid for hidden germs
NCT ID NCT07651137
First seen Jun 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether testing the liquid used to preserve donor livers and kidneys can predict infections in recipients. Researchers will check if bacteria or fungi in that fluid match infections that develop after transplant. The goal is to see if this simple test could help doctors treat infections earlier and improve patient outcomes. The study involves 1,400 adults getting liver or kidney transplants at one Italian hospital.
