Bladder X-ray and kidney transplant success in living donors
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a special X-ray test of the bladder and urethra before a living-donor kidney transplant can help predict how well the transplant works. It aims to find problems early so patients can get better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child or an adult receiving a kidney transplant from a living donor.
- Your medical team performed a special X-ray test of your bladder and urethra before the transplant.
- You did not have a kidney transplant that never started working (primary non-function).
- Your relevant medical records before and after transplant are available.
- You agree to participate in the study.

This study uses advanced MRI scans to look at kidney health in living donors, transplant recipients, and healthy people. It aims to find links between MRI results and kidney function, fibrosis (scarring), and aging.
This early-phase study is testing a combined bladder and kidney transplant approach for people whose bladder problems damage the kidneys. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve bladder and kidney outcomes and be done safely.
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 ultrasound of donor kidneys to predict the risk of kidney problems after transplant. It may help doctors better understand transplant outcomes.
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.
This study tests a urine test that may spot kidney transplant problems earlier than current blood tests. If you join, your kidney function will be monitored over a year to see if this new marker helps detect issues sooner.
