Brief Summary
This study will compare the performance of Gene Expression Profile (GEP)/ Donor derived cell free deoxyribonucleic acid (dd-cfDNA) tests, to the following tests: Molecular Microscope (MMDx) and histopathology (study of changes in tissues caused by disease) in their ability to diagnose (exactly identify) various types of injury within the transplanted kidney.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Quantify the number of rejections in the kidney allograft detected via non invasive blood- based testing as reflected in abnormal laboratory readout of GEP value and dd-CFDNA fraction.
The number of rejections in the kidney allograft detected via blood- based non invasive testing will be measured and compared to the number of rejection cases detected by histopathology and MMDX to ascertain accuracy of blood based assays to detect rejection among kidney transplant recipients
Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Quantify the number of rejection cases detected by histopathology and MMDX as reported by respective pathology laboratories/ pathologists
Measure the number of rejections in the kidney allograft detected by histopathology and MMDX as invasive tests and ascertain concordance of those results with blood based non invasive assays.
Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Eligibility Criteria
Patients undergoing a for cause biopsy due to ongoing or suspected "injury" of the kidney allograft.
You may qualify if:
- Patients undergoing a for cause biopsy due to ongoing or suspected "injury" of the allograft.
- Patients will be between 3 months and 7 years post-transplant episode.
- Recipients of both cadaveric and living donor renal transplant are considered eligible.
You may not qualify if:
- No multi organ transplant recipients will be included.
- Pregnancy
- HIV positive recipients
- Recipients of kidney transplant from an identical sibling
- Patients with active and biopsy proven BK nephropathy
