Evaluating double voiding to reduce urinary tract infections in kidney transplant recipients

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

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of a technique called double voiding in reducing urinary tract infections (UTIs) among kidney transplant recipients. UTIs are a common complication in these patients, often leading to serious health issues such as bloodstream infections and kidney rejection. The study aims to assess whether double voiding, which involves urinating more than once during a single bathroom visit, can help empty the bladder more completely and thus lower the risk of UTIs. Participants will be adult kidney transplant recipients who are regularly followed at a specific transplant clinic.
