Description
In this study, we are developing new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound methods to determine if it is effective in diagnosing complication in kidney transplant patients. Participants in this study will involve patients that have had a kidney transplant and are scheduled for a kidney biopsy. The study will also involve a comparison group of healthy individuals that have no history of kidney conditions. Study procedures will include a review of medical history and medications, MRI scan and ultrasound of the abdomen and blood/ urine test.

IRB Number:
19-016165
Eligible age range:

Official title:
Imaging Modalities in Pediatric Assessment of Kidney Transplants

What to expect
What will kidney transplant participants be asked to do?Complete 4-6 study visits, each lasting about 2-3 hours, at CHOP within 48 hours of your scheduled kidney biopsy to complete a:
  • Physical exam and interview
  • Blood draw
  • MRI scan of the abdomen
  • Ultrasound with contrast (optional)

What will healthy volunteers be asked to do?Make a single 2 hour visit at CHOP to complete a:
  • Physical exam and interview
  • Blood draw
