Comparing Anesthesia Types for Kidney Transplants
This study compares two types of anesthesia (general gas anesthesia vs. a spinal-plus-epidural method) during living-donor kidney transplants to see how they affect certain body signals related to cell health and aging. If you are having a kidney transplant from a living donor and are in good overall health, this trial could help doctors learn which anesthesia may be better for you.

Researchers will compare people using the platform with those receiving standard care, and interview patients and staff about their experiences.
Portsmouth, HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07607197RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune Reset to Help Highly Sensitized Kidney Transplant Patients
This study tests whether a special immune-resetting treatment can help patients who have developed too many antibodies against donor kidneys get access to a compatible kidney transplant. The treatment uses chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation to 'reset' your immune system so it stops rejecting potential donor kidneys.
