Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine if analysis of urine samples for specific markers can predict transplant rejection in people who have received kidney transplants
Detailed Description:
Innovations in kidney transplantation have improved short-term outcomes for transplant patients However organ rejection remains as an important threat to the long-term survival of the transplanted organ An increase in the serum creatinine level is often the first clinical indicator of kidney transplant rejection however this marker lacks sensitivity and specificity Rejection is currently diagnosed using an invasive transplant biopsy procedure in addition to being expensive transplant biopsies can result in bleeding from the transplant and even graft loss In early studies it has been observed that significant increases in the levels of perforin granzyme B and CD3 messenger RNA mRNA in urinary cells signal the development of acute transplant rejection The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the noninvasive procedure of measuring perforin granzyme B and CD3 mRNA levels in urine samples can accurately diagnose and predict kidney transplant rejection make transplant biopsy unnecessary and provide an opportunity to initiate treatment for early rejection with the aim to minimize damage to the kidney
This study will last 3 years post-transplant There will be a total of 14 study visits Blood and urine collection will occur at all visits Additional visits may be necessary for those participants who develop abnormal kidney function
