Phone navigators aim to boost kidney donations
NCT ID NCT05468463
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a tele-health navigator program can help more kidney transplant candidates find living donors. About 347 adults with end-stage kidney disease will either get the navigator support or standard care. The goal is to see if remote guidance increases donor screenings and approvals, especially for people far from transplant centers.
