Kidney Allograft Monitoring by Combining Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA and Molecular Gene Expression: A Clinical Management Perspective.

Donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) may safely assess kidney allograft rejection. Molecular Microscope (MMDx) gene expression may offer increased precision to histology. This single-center retrospective study monitored kidney transplant recipients for rejection at specified time intervals by utilizing creatinine (SCr), proteinuria, donor-specific antibodies (DSAs), and dd-cfDNA.
