Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Clinical T cell as well as antibody mediated acute rejection
Occurring within 12 months post transplant
Sub-clinical T cell as well as antibody mediated acute rejection
Occurring within 12 months post transplant
Composite of clinical and sub-clinical T cell as well as antibody mediated acute rejection
Occurring within 12 months post transplant
Secondary Outcomes (2)
eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate [mL/min]): will be derived from serum creatinine level, corrected for variables, using the CKD-RPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) equation
24 months
Renal allograft injury from BKV nephritis, CNI toxicity, acute pyeloenephrtiis and recurrent disease confirmed by renal histology
24 months
Study Arms (1)
Kidney Transplant Recipients
Adult living and deceased donor kidney transplant recipients will be eligible to participate in this study.
Eligibility Criteria
Adult de novo living and deceased donor kidney transplant recipients will be eligible to participate in this study.
You may qualify if:
- Adult recipients (Age \> 18 years )
- Both genders and all racial and ethnic groups
- Kidney transplant alone
- Both living and deceased donor transplants
- Primary and re-transplants. A total of 30 re-transplant recipients across all study sites will be eligible for enrollment. CareDx will notify all centers when this subset of enrollment has been met. Thereafter, all enrolled patients should be primary transplant recipients.
- Ability to come for follow-up and undergo biopsy (Performed in accordance to SOC)
- Ability to give written informed consent prior to study enrollment
- Patients can be enrolled at any time; before or after transplantation and/or at time of outpatient or inpatient visits for workup of medical problems; e.g. at the time of a renal biopsy (regardless of elapsed time since post transplant) as specified in this study protocol.
You may not qualify if:
- Pediatric recipients (Age \< 18 years)
- Pregnant women
- Patients undergoing multi-organ transplants (e.g. kidney with pancreas or liver)
- Patients receiving donor organ from an identical twin
