Helping children after kidney transplant control blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new approach to help children who have had a kidney transplant and still have high blood pressure. The goal is to improve their blood pressure and overall health after transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child had a kidney transplant more than 12 months ago.
- Your child has high blood pressure.
- Your child does not have a heart defect.
- Your child has not been treated for a rejection episode in the last 3 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at treating narrowing or blockage of blood vessels in transplanted kidneys. If your transplanted kidney is showing signs of not working well and imaging shows a blocked vessel, this trial tests whether a procedure called angioplasty (opening the vessel with a tiny balloon) can help restore blood flow and improve kidney function.
This study looks at how a kidney-related blood-pressure system works in children and teenagers, comparing those with newly diagnosed primary (no known cause) high blood pressure to those with normal blood pressure. It may help doctors better understand childhood blood-pressure changes and guide future care.
This study tests whether choosing blood pressure medications during kidney transplant based on your individual heart and blood vessel responses can improve outcomes. It aims to make surgery safer and recovery better.
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.
This study tests whether using a salt substitute with more potassium and less sodium can help control blood pressure in people who have had a kidney transplant. It aims to see if this simple change is safe and effective for managing hypertension after transplantation.
This study tests whether lifestyle changes—like diet and exercise—can help lower blood pressure in Black adults with moderate kidney disease. It's designed specifically for people at higher risk of kidney problems, and the goal is to see if these changes can slow kidney disease progression and reduce heart disease risk.
