Monitoring post renal transplant AKI

Project Summary

Current practice is to use MAG3 scan to monitor kidney function post acute kidney injury in a post-transplant setting. However, utility of Tc-99mMAG-3 in evaluating kidney transplant recipients in the post-operative period is debatable. The purpose of this study is to optimize clinical investigations performed in patient population post-renal transplant to monitor rate and extent of kidney recovery and predict long term outcomes. 

This will be a minimal risk clinical study that is exclusively a retrospective chart review. The study was developed within the Multi-Organ Transplant (MOT) program at the BC Children's Hospital, and Dr. Tom Blydt-Hansen is the principal investigator.
