About this study

This study measures the sublingual microcirculation of patients with kidney transplant using MicroScan. The data will be compared with data of health volunteers and end stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis. The microcirculation date includes total small vessel density, perfused small vessel density, proportion of perfused vessels, microvascular flow index, and heterogeneity index.
