Evaluating bone density and vascular calcifications after kidney transplant

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study assesses bone architecture and vascular calcifications in recent kidney transplant patients using high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT and DEXA scans. It aims to understand the evolution of bone and vascular health over time by analyzing nephrological clinical parameters and biological markers related to mineral metabolism. The study seeks to establish relationships between bone mass, muscle mass, and the presence of vascular calcifications, which are critical for improving patient outcomes post-transplant.
