Ongoing/Active
Living Donor Health Perceptions Study - Funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the objective of this study is to understand health perceptions of potential and actual living donor candidates and the physical function of such donors who are evaluated at UCSF.
Reaching Equity for Adults and Children in Transplant - Funded by the NIDDK, the objective of this study is to understand system-level barriers to donor evaluation, selection, and follow-up in a multi-center observational study.
Chronic liver disease cohort - Funded by the UCSF Department of Medicine, the objective of this study is to understand and predict access to kidney transplantation simultaneously or after liver transplantation.
Use of cell-free donor-derived DNA as a predictor of rejection in children - The objective of this study is to understand whether cell-free donor-derived DNA levels can be used in children and adolescents to predict onset of rejection or kidney injury.
PERformance and Frailty at Evaluation for Kidney Transplant - The goal of this study is to examine the association between physical performance and frailty at time of transplant evaluation with outcomes in waitlisted transplant recipients.
Kidney Allograft Outcomes AlloSure Registry (KOAR) and outcomes of KidneyCare in Renal Allografts (OKRA). The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical use of cell-free DNA in transplant recipients as a marker of rejection and to examine clinical/pathology correlates.
Structured Program of exercise in Recipients of Kidney Transplantation - A "prehabilitation" intervention prior to kidney transplantation has the potential to maximize the benefit of transplantation in older patients.
High Risk CMV cohort - This is a cohort of approximately 700 highly sensitized patients treated with Thymoglobulin induction followed from transplantation to one year who are at risk for CMV infection.
New Onset Diabetes cohort - This cohort consists of patients who developed diabetes after kidney transplant at UCSF.
Kidney transplants for ESKD from multiple myeloma - This is a cohort of transplant recipients who had myeloma as the cause fo their CKD.
HIV cohort - This is a cohort of HIV positive individuals who have undergone transplantation followed prospectively.
Collaborations
United States Renal Data System. We serve as a collaborating site to the USRDS national registry.
Modifiable Factors Affecting Racial Disparities in Live Kidney Donation (MFALDD). This is a collaboration with University of California Los Angeles to understand barriers to living donation.
Coming soon! We are excited to be collaborating with the University of California Davis and University of Texas Southwestern
