Living Renal Donor MRI Study

NCT01280851 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2012-01-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Accurate preoperative evaluation of a potential living renal donor's anatomy, vasculature and function is crucial to ensure optimal outcomes for both kidney donor and recipient in transplantation.

Currently abdominal ultrasound and spiral CT angiography are used to evaluate renal anatomy and vascular status, and renal scintigraphy to evaluate renal function. This imaging protocol exposes this relatively young and healthy population to a high radiation dose and potentially nephrotoxic contrast agents.

The investigators hypothesize that a single MR-based examination in the preoperative evaluation of potential kidney donor is a faster, safer, more cost effective and as accurate as the current multiple imaging work-up protocol.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

1 hour of MRI exam will be performed in addition to the standard of care procedures, using low dose of gadolinium-based contrast (not investigational drug).
