This trial tests if using a personalized antibiotic approach before surgery can reduce infections compared to the usual one-size-fits-all antibiotics. It focuses on people having their bladder removed (cystectomy) with a specific type of urinary diversion.
This study looks at whether continuing an antibiotic called TMP-SMX (Bactrim) for longer helps prevent urinary tract infections after a kidney transplant. If you've already taken it safely for 6 months, you may qualify to continue it for another 6 months or stop, to see which is better.
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 study compares giving antibiotics for 7 days versus 14 days to treat acute kidney infections (pyelonephritis) in people with kidney transplants. It aims to see if the shorter course works just as well and is safer or easier to complete.
This study is testing whether a wearable device can help spot infections early in people who have had a kidney transplant. If it works, it might let you get treatment sooner and avoid serious complications.
This study looks at giving anti-infection medications (antibiotics) in a more personalized way soon after a kidney transplant. By carefully adjusting the dose, doctors hope to prevent infections while keeping the new kidney safe.
