Scientists hunt for clues behind Post-Transplant protein leak
NCT ID NCT01094327
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why some kidney transplant patients, especially those with a kidney disease called FSGS, develop protein in their urine again after surgery. Researchers will examine blood and kidney tissue samples taken before and after the transplant to find the cause. The goal is to understand the problem better, not to test a new treatment. Up to 100 kidney transplant recipients up to age 25 will take part.
