The purpose of this research is to collect blood samples and data from kidney transplant patients. The samples and data will be used for research and development of non-invasive test to detect donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) in kidney transplant patients to evaluate the status of the transplanted organ.
This is a prospective, multicenter sample collection study within a kidney transplant population.
Whole blood samples and clinical data will be obtained from each participant at the time of indication biopsy (prior to the biopsy procedure).
De-identified leftover retrospective gDNA screening samples from the paired donor(s) will also be obtained.
