Donor-derived cell-free DNA predicts allograft failure and mortality after lung transplantation

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Allograft failure is common in lung-transplant recipients and leads to poor outcomes including early death. No reliable clinical tools exist to identify patients at high risk for allograft failure. This study tested the use of donor-derived cell-free DNA (%ddcfDNA) as a sensitive marker of early graft injury to predict impending allograft failure. METHODS: This multicenter, prospective cohort study...
