Imaging Kidney Transplant Rejection Using Ferumoxytol-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance

Trial ID or NCT#

NCT02006108

Status

not recruiting iconNOT RECRUITING

Purpose

The goal of this study is to develop a non-invasive imaging test for in vivo detection of kidney transplant rejection. The hypotheses are that 1) Ferumoxytol-MRI can generate accurate estimates of tissue iron concentrations and tissue macrophages. 2) The signal given by a renal allograft on Ferumoxytol-MRI demonstrates significant differences between rejected and non-rejected transplants.
