Muscle ultrasound for kidney transplant patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to check muscle health in people getting a kidney transplant. It may help doctors better understand and support your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are scheduled to receive a kidney transplant
- You can have a muscle ultrasound and a bioelectrical impedance analysis (a quick, painless test of body composition)
- You can give written permission to take part

This study uses an ultrasound (a painless scan) to check for sarcopenia—age-related muscle loss. It may be a good fit if you're over 50 and have noticed trouble with walking, climbing, or recent falls or weight loss.
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with lung cancer who are about to have surgery. It uses a CT or MRI scan to check your muscle health, which may help doctors better plan your care.
This study uses ultrasound scans to measure muscle mass in people with metabolic conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity. It may help doctors understand how these conditions affect muscles and could lead to better care.

This trial uses ultrasound to measure fat inside muscles of hospitalized older adults. It aims to see if this measurement is helpful for assessing health and recovery during rehabilitation.
This study uses ultrasound to look at muscle quality and fat in two muscles (one in the thigh, one in the belly) and checks how that relates to physical function in older women. It may help understand how to better support healthy aging.
