Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Conventional solitary kidney transplant (ABO compatible, crossmatch negative, not a kidney transplant simultaneously transplanted with another non-renal organ including heart, liver, lung or pancreas) * Patients who have given informed consent and are willing to comply with the protocol, including the use of their specimens and data for subsequent research.
Exclusion criteria
* EBV -seronegative recipient * ABO incompatible kidney transplants. * Simultaneous kidney and extra-renal organ transplants including pancreas, liver, heart, lung, bone marrow transplantation, etc or prior recipient of non-renal transplant. Subjects who had previous extra renal transplants may be included in the study. * Positive crossmatch kidney transplants (T cell crossmatch \>100, B flow cytometric crossmatch \>150). * Participating in other clinical trials * Any kidney transplant recipient \< 18 years of age.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To correlate the findings of TruGraf (a peripheral blood RNA signature that has been shown to correlate with rejection in renal allografts) with rejection episodes in renal transplant patients . | 3 years | The study will validate the ability of a peripheral blood assay to assess the risk of rejection and determine the role this assay will have in immunosuppression monitoring in our patients at Mayo Clinic (3 sites). |
