Evaluating kidney function after living donor transplants using MRI.

DOVIMIR : Multi-parametric MRI Evaluation of Renal Graft Performance After Living Donor Donation

Not applicable Interventional Hospices Civils de Lyon · NCT06047106

This study is testing if MRI scans can help doctors better understand how well kidneys from living donors work after being transplanted, especially for patients waiting for a kidney transplant.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the performance of kidney grafts from living donors using multiparametric MRI to assess renal function. It focuses on patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease who are awaiting transplants and living donors with adequate glomerular filtration rates. The study aims to improve the selection process for kidney donations, especially from older donors, by utilizing advanced imaging techniques to better understand kidney function post-transplant. Interventions include MRI scans, kidney graft biopsies, and collection of blood and urine samples.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults with end-stage chronic kidney disease awaiting a kidney transplant from a living donor.

Not a fit: Patients with contraindications for MRI or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the selection criteria for kidney donors, potentially improving transplant outcomes for patients with chronic kidney disease.

How similar studies have performed: While the use of multiparametric MRI in kidney evaluation is emerging, this specific approach to assess living donor kidney grafts is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
