Official title
Observation of Alterations in Kidney Function, Immune System and Gut Mircobiota After Living Donor Kidney Transplantation
Overview
This is a longitudinal observation of kidney function, immune system and gut microbiota before and 24 weeks after a live kidney transplantation conducted in donor and recipient pairs living in the same household. Outcome measures include kidney function, body composition, blood pressure, gut microbiome composition, metabolomics and immune cell states.
Primary outcome measures
- Fecal microbiome taxonomy (Shannon-Index) [Time frame: Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (10)
- Functional capacity of gut microbiota [Time frame: Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]
- Frequency of circulating T-cell subtypes [Time frame: Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]
- Serum tryptophan metabolites concentration [Time frame: Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]
- Serum short-chain fatty acid concentration [Time frame: Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]
- Fecal tryptophan metabolites concentration [Time frame: Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]
- Fecal short-chain fatty acid concentration [Time frame: Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]
- Office systolic blood pressure [Time frame: Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]
- Office diastolic blood pressure [Time frame: Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]
- Body fat content [Time frame: Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]
- Fat free mass [Time frame: Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]
