Studying Thyroid Changes and Kidney Transplant Outcomes in Adults 18 and Older at Bologna Transplant Center

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to study kidney transplant patients to understand if changes in thyroid function shortly after the transplant relate to the transplants success and patient outcomes. The study focuses on how thyroid hormone changes might affect kidney function, medical complications, and patient survival within three months post-transplant. It also seeks to identify risk factors for thyroid disorders during this early post-transplant period. Participants are kidney transplant patients from a specific hospital center. Researchers will monitor thyroid function at the time of transplant and again three months later. They will also assess kidney function, medical complications occurring from surgery until discharge, and survival at three months. The study will include about 100 patients who meet the criteria. During the study, participants thyroid and kidney functions will be tested through clinical and laboratory data collection. Medical complications and survival will be tracked from surgery to three months after transplantation. Participants must have data available within 30 days post-transplant and provide informed consent. The total follow-up period covers up to three months after the kidney transplant to evaluate outcomes and safety.
