Eligibility Criteria

Age 1 - 60 · All Participants · 10 Total Inclusion Criteria

Mark “Yes” if the following statements are true for you:
You must be able to perform clean intermittent catheterization and bladder cycling or already be using a catheter.
If you are considering getting a kidney transplant, your kidney function should not be very poor (less than or equal to 20 mL/min) or if you are on dialysis. In some cases, if your kidney function is slightly better (20-25 mL/min), you may still be eligible if your kidney function is expected to rapidly decline.
The Mayo Clinic transplant team needs to approve you for a kidney transplant.
If you are a woman, you must agree to not get pregnant for one year after the surgery. You can do this by not having sex or by using approved birth control methods listed in Appendix A.
You are between 1 and 60 years old.
You or your legal guardian are willing and able to sign a form giving permission to participate in the study. If you are between 6 and 17 years old, you will also need to agree to participate.
You have bladder issues that require a transplant. This may include high pressure or leaks in the bladder, overactivity with muscle coordination issues, or recent changes in the urinary system.
You have tried the highest dose of medicine recommended by your doctor and/or have had side effects or allergies to it.
You will need to undergo a psychological evaluation to make sure that you are emotionally stable and able to handle the study.
You have chronic kidney disease caused by a bladder disorder that affects urine flow.
