Clinical Research for Kidney Transplantation

Northwestern Memorial physicians are participating in a study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to identify a non-invasive marker for transplant rejection. Our physicians are also involved in several clinical research trials to:

  • Improve the long-term function of transplanted kidneys
  • Evaluate new anti-rejection medicines
  • Refine the techniques involved in prednisone-free kidney transplants
  • Create desensitization protocols for patients who may have developed antibodies that can cause transplant rejection
