Evaluation of Subclinical Renal Allograft Damage

Study Status

Open to Enrollment

Study Description

This is a prospective study of kidney transplant recipients to identify the incidence, risk factors and biological markers for subclinical chronic kidney damage.  At 3, 15, and 36 months after the transplant, eligible subjects will undergo a research renal biopsy, and provide blood and urine samples for different types of biological markers.  

The goal is to find biological markers that predict progression of chronic kidney damage in the transplanted kidney and to identify potential novel targets to improve long-term survival of renal transplants.
