Investigating kidney volume in live kidney donors and recipients
Measurement of Kidney Volume Using Computed Tomography in Kidney Transplant Donors and Recipients
Seoul National University Hospital · NCT06216795
This study is trying to see if measuring kidney size before donation can help predict how well the kidneys will work for both donors and recipients after surgery.

What this trial studies
This study examines the relationship between kidney volume, measured via pre-donation CT auto-segmentation, and the postoperative renal function of both kidney donors and recipients. The researchers aim to establish a statistically significant association and subsequently develop predictive models for renal function at the time of surgery, as well as one and three years post-transplant. Various factors that may contribute to renal function deterioration will be incorporated into these models to enhance their accuracy.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are individuals who are live kidney donors undergoing transplantation.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have preoperative enhanced CT images will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved predictions of renal function outcomes for kidney transplant patients.
How similar studies have performed: While the approach of using CT auto-segmentation for kidney volume assessment is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in understanding renal function post-transplant.
