Dialysis duration effects on bladder function in transplant candidates
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study examines how long you've been on dialysis and how much urine you still produce might affect your bladder's ability to hold and stretch after a kidney transplant. Understanding this helps doctors predict how well your bladder will work after you receive a new kidney.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have end-stage renal disease (kidneys no longer work) and have been on dialysis for 6 to 24 months
- Your kidney failure is not caused by a primary urological (bladder or urinary tract) problem
- You are currently waiting to receive a kidney transplant
- You do not have diabetes
- You have not had prior bladder or urinary tract surgery

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 looks at kidney transplant patients to better predict long-term outcomes by examining small samples of kidney tissue (biopsies). It may help doctors understand why some transplants succeed and others don't, potentially improving care.
This study looks at how well your body can handle exercise after a kidney transplant. It aims to understand your current fitness level, which can help guide your recovery and long-term health.
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.
This study looks at how different types of dialysis affect salt stored in your tissues and your small blood vessels. It may help doctors understand how to improve dialysis treatments.
This study looks at whether obese patients who are starting dialysis can safely receive kidney transplants. Researchers want to understand how weight affects transplant success and access to this life-changing treatment.
