Description

Summary

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.

Details

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.

Lead Scientist at University of California Health

  • Amarpali Brar, MD (ucsf)
    Throughout my career as an Associate Professor in the Medicine department at UCSF, my primary research interests have centered around kidney transplantation. My primary focus of research has been in epidemiology and outcomes research in patients with kidney disease and transplantation, particularly cardiovascular disease and peripheral vascular disease.
