NCT00663507 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 2

Last updated 2013-02-27

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this research is to better characterize the components and mechanisms of the immune systems of persons with sickle cell disease who have had a kidney transplant and are immunosuppressed. If we can improve our scientific understanding of the fundamental mechanisms involved in patient outcomes, we can potentially maximize the benefits that we seek from transplantation in sickle cell patients with end stage renal disease.
