Study of kidney changes before and around donation
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study follows people who are planning kidney donation or a kidney transplant to better understand how kidney function changes over time. It may help researchers predict risk and improve care by studying health markers in detail.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 34.9
- You are planning a kidney donation or a kidney transplant
- You do not have important heart, lung, liver, or kidney problems

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study asks whether the amount of fat around your kidney before donation can predict how your remaining kidney will do afterward. It follows living donors to see if that fat measurement relates to long-term kidney health.
This trial looks at whether specific diet changes can be safely used for people who are planning a living kidney transplant. It mainly aims to understand how diet might affect people during the donation/transplant process.
This study tests a pre-operative exercise program for people donating or receiving a kidney. It aims to see if exercising before surgery improves outcomes and recovery.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to look at kidney health in living donors, transplant recipients, and healthy people. It aims to find links between MRI results and kidney function, fibrosis (scarring), and aging.
This study follows people who are getting a kidney transplant (first or later) to better understand how the body recovers, using health tracking and “gene/protein” (proteogenomic) information. It may help doctors predict complications and improve care after transplant.
This study looks at how well kidney transplants work from both living and deceased donors. It may help doctors better understand long-term outcomes for people who get a new kidney.
