Overview
The purpose of the study is to determine how much a persons kidney
function recovers after receiving a simultaneous liver kidney
transplant. We
are interested to see if a liver transplant alone makes it unnecessary to
perform a kidney transplant.
Description
Who is eligible to participate?
- This study is enrolling acute kidney injury (AKI) patients who18 years of age and who are listed to receive a simultaneous liver kidney transplant to look athis function recovery.
What is Involved if I participate?
- Participation involves completing two nuclear medicine scans (one prior to liver and kidney transplant and one 10 months later)
- A nuclear medicine scan uses small amounts of
radiation to create pictures of your kidneys and takes approx. 40 minutes to complete
- The results of the second scan will be compared to the results of the first scan to determine how much your kidney function has improved. Study participation lasts approx. 10 months
Will I be compensated?
- A $25 gift card will be provided after completing the nuclear medicine post SLK scan.
How can I participate?
