Omnigraf: Blood Biomarkers in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The objective of the proposed study is to assess whether a blood biomarker can be used to monitor the response to rejection treatment in pediatric kidney transplant recipients with biopsy-proven acute cellular or antibody mediated rejection. The study hypothesizes that blood gene expression profile and donor-derived cell-free DNA biomarkers (omnigraf) can be used to predict acute rejection and monitor its response to treatment.
