Donor‐derived cell‐free DNA (dd‐cfDNA) for detection of allograft rejection in pediatric kidney transplants
20 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
In pediatric transplantation, acute rejection is a major contributor of graft failure. Current approaches include kidney biopsy in response to graft dysfunction and/or the emergence of donor-specific HLA antibodies (DSA). However, biopsy is associated with potential complications. Thus, there is a need for non-invasive diagnostics. Detection of donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA, AlloSure) > 1% is associated...
