Ultrasound treatment to lower blood pressure after kidney transplant
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether ultrasound “renal denervation” can safely and effectively lower blood pressure in people whose hypertension is not well controlled after a kidney transplant. If you qualify, the study may help you see whether this procedure reduces office and 24-hour blood pressure readings without harming your transplanted kidney.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You had a kidney transplant at least 12 months ago, and your anti-rejection medicines have been stable
- Your kidney function is good enough for the study (eGFR at least 40)
- Your blood pressure stays high even with treatment (office systolic ≥140 and 24-hour average ≥130)
- You take at least two blood pressure medicines of different types, including a water pill (or you cannot tolerate 3 types), and your plan won’t change in the next 3 months
- You can share written informed consent and are willing to be screened with the required scans/tests

This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation to lower blood pressure in people whose medication isn't enough. It uses a special catheter to calm nerves near the kidneys that may be overactive.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation, which uses targeted energy to calm overactive kidney nerves that can raise blood pressure. It is for people with high diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) who have not yet taken blood pressure medication.
This study tests a device that uses ultrasound to calm overactive kidney nerves, which may help lower blood pressure. It is for people with high blood pressure that is hard to control with medication.
This trial tests a new way to perform a procedure called renal denervation, which uses radio waves to calm overactive kidney nerves that can raise blood pressure. By getting feedback during the procedure, doctors hope to make the treatment more effective for people with high blood pressure.
This trial tests a procedure that targets nerves near the kidney (renal denervation) to help lower blood pressure in people whose hypertension is not controlled despite medication. It uses a special 3D mapping system to guide the procedure.
This study tests a procedure called renal denervation, which uses energy to calm overactive kidney nerves that can raise blood pressure. It is for people with mild high blood pressure who have not taken blood pressure medication for at least four weeks.
