Kidney and liver transplant candidates get a scan at surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a specific scan taken around the time of a combined liver-and-kidney transplant can help doctors assess the kidney(s) that will be used. You might be eligible if you are already listed for both transplants and can safely complete the scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years
- Be on the transplant list for both liver transplant and kidney transplant (not on dialysis at the time of surgery)
- Have two of your own kidneys (no missing kidneys)
- Be willing to sign a study consent form and participate
- Not have had a previous solid organ transplant

This study uses MRI scans to check how well a transplanted kidney is working and how the body's metabolism is affected. It may help doctors measure kidney health without invasive tests.
This study is testing two new types of scans that use sound and light waves to check the health of your transplanted kidney without needing a needle biopsy. If you are already scheduled for a biopsy, the researchers want to see if these scans can give the same information in a less invasive way.
This study uses special MRI scans after a living-donor kidney transplant to check how well the kidney is working. It aims to see if MRI can help monitor kidney health without needing a biopsy.
This study uses MRI scans to see how well your new pancreas and kidney are working after transplant. It may help doctors monitor your transplant without needing risky procedures.
This study uses MRI scans to look at kidneys after transplant, which may help check kidney health without invasive procedures. It might be helpful for people whose kidney function suddenly drops or who have had treatment to recover kidney function.
This trial studies kidney biopsies in people who had a liver transplant and then developed new signs of kidney damage. The goal is to better understand what’s causing the problem and how to guide next steps.
