TB test study for kidney disease or transplant patients
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at better ways to find hidden (subclinical) tuberculosis (TB) in people with serious kidney disease or those who have had a kidney transplant. If you have kidney failure on dialysis or have a kidney transplant, you may qualify and help improve TB detection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have end-stage kidney disease and are on dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) or have had a kidney transplant from a living or deceased donor
- You are 18 years or older
- You do not have a positive PPD test (a skin test for TB) in the past or currently
- You do not have active tuberculosis (TB) in your lungs or elsewhere in your body

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is looking for adults who might have tuberculosis, a related infection called non-tubercular mycobacteriosis, or a hidden (latent) tuberculosis infection. You will provide a sample for testing, and the study will help doctors understand and manage these infections better.
This study checks how common hidden TB infection is in people getting regular dialysis. It uses simple tests to find TB that isn't making you sick, so you can get early care if needed.
This study is looking at how a simple blood test can help monitor tuberculosis (TB) treatment. It may help doctors know sooner if the treatment is working.
This trial is testing a new blood test called T-ID that monitors your immune system after a kidney transplant. It may help doctors detect early signs of rejection so they can adjust your treatment before problems start.
This study tests new, faster ways to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) using samples like sputum (mucus from your lungs), tongue swabs, and urine. It aims to see if these new tests can find TB more accurately than current methods, which could help you get the right treatment sooner.
This study is for people with a kidney transplant who are in the hospital for a biopsy because their doctor suspects rejection. Researchers want to see if a simple blood or urine test can detect rejection, which might make future biopsies less necessary.
