Gut germs and pain after kidney transplant
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the germs in your gut (microbiome) and certain chemicals in your blood affect pain after a kidney transplant. By joining, you may help doctors better understand and manage pain for future kidney transplant patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are getting a kidney transplant at the University of Illinois (UI Health).
- You do not have a history of colon cancer or inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis).
- You have not had a C. diff infection in the last 8 weeks.
- You are not getting a multiorgan transplant (like kidney and pancreas at the same time).

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 the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) after an organ transplant to understand how they might affect your health. By participating, you help researchers learn more about transplant recovery and long-term well-being.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic supplement helps people recovering from a kidney transplant. If you are between 18 and 75 years old and had a smooth recovery in the first month after surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial studies whether taking probiotics can help reduce diarrhea caused by immunosuppressive drugs in people who have had a kidney transplant. It may help improve your quality of life after transplant.
This study tests whether giving an antibiotic after a kidney transplant can prevent bloodstream infections. Participants who have bacteria in their urine in the first month after transplant may be eligible.
This study looks at molecular changes in kidney transplants that have microvascular inflammation (a type of injury). It aims to better understand why some transplants get this inflammation, which could lead to better treatments.
