Hyperthyroidism in the Immediate Post-Kidney Transplant Period as a Potential Predictor of Worse Renal Graft Outcome

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying the possible link between changes in thyroid function right after kidney transplantation and the success of the transplant. They aim to find out if thyroid problems shortly after surgery affect kidney function, medical complications, or patient survival three months later. The study also seeks to identify factors that might increase the risk of thyroid disorders in this early post-transplant period. Participants are kidney transplant patients whose thyroid function will be monitored immediately after surgery and up to three months later. The study observes how treatments, including immunosuppressants and corticosteroids, may influence thyroid hormone levels. The research focuses on changes caused by surgery stress and exposure to iodine-containing substances. Data will be collected on thyroid function, kidney function, medical complications, and survival outcomes. Participants will be followed from surgery through discharge and up to three months post-transplant. Researchers will measure thyroid and kidney function at baseline and follow-up visits, track any medical complications, and monitor survival. Clinical and laboratory data on thyroid hormone trends within 30 days after transplant will be collected. The study plans to include about 100 patients who meet inclusion criteria and provide informed consent.
