Personalized antibiotic dosing after kidney transplant
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You are within the first 5 days after your first kidney transplant.

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 study tests whether giving an antibiotic after a kidney transplant can prevent bloodstream infections. Participants who have bacteria in their urine in the first month after transplant may be eligible.
This study tests a personalized approach to managing immunosuppression after a kidney transplant to improve long-term kidney function. It may help find the right dose of tacrolimus for each person.
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 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.
