New study aims to fix kidney transplant bottleneck
NCT ID NCT07033117
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether making changes at hospitals and dialysis centers can help more people with kidney failure start the process to get a transplant. About 14,000 patients at five large transplant centers will be included. The goal is to see if these changes lead to more patients starting evaluation and eventually receiving a kidney.
