About this trial
This is an observational study among approximately 160 end-stage renal disease patients on renal replacement therapy and post-living donor or deceased donor kidney transplant recipients. Investigators aim to assess the proportion of positive IGRA associated with symptom development, sputum Xpert MTB/RIF assay, and chest radiograph to define latent TB infection and subclinical TB among ESKD and renal transplant patients.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1.The number of participants with positive IGRAs among end-stage kidney disease and kidney transplant patients
The number of participants with positive IGRAs among end-stage kidney disease patients and kidney transplant patients
2. The number of participants with latent TB and active TB among end-stage kidney disease and kidney transplant patients during the 2-year follow-up defined by:
1. Latent TB: a state of persistent immune response to stimulation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens (positive IGRA) with no evidence of clinically manifest active TB 2. Active TB: a disease in someone infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is characterized by signs or symptoms of active disease, or both, and is distinct from latent TB infection, which occurs without signs or symptoms of active disease
