This study is looking for better ways to find tuberculosis (TB) early in people with end-stage kidney disease or kidney transplants. Researchers will use three different approaches — a blood test called an interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA), checking for TB symptoms, and chest X-rays — to see which methods work best at catching TB before it becomes active and dangerous.
People with serious kidney disease are at higher risk of developing tuberculosis, but TB is often found too late in this group. This study aims to find the best combination of simple, affordable tests to catch TB early, when it's still hidden and easier to treat.
You would visit the research clinic where you'll have blood drawn for an interferon-gamma release assay test, answer questions about any TB symptoms you may have, and have a chest X-ray taken. The entire visit should take a few hours, and there are no ongoing medications or lifestyle changes required — this is purely a screening and evaluation study to see which detection methods work best.
