Kidney transplant biopsy study using blood test clues
Part of Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at kidney transplant patients who are getting a kidney biopsy for usual clinical reasons. It tests whether special blood test results (from a sample taken as part of the study) can help spot transplant kidney problems earlier or more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a kidney transplant
- Your doctor has ordered a kidney biopsy for a medical reason
- You are willing to sign informed consent to join the study
- You have only a kidney transplant (not more than one organ transplant)

This study looks at how well a new blood test works to monitor kidney health after a transplant. It might help doctors catch problems early without needing a biopsy.
This study is testing a blood test that looks for tiny pieces of the donor's DNA in your blood to check how your new kidney is doing. It may help doctors monitor your transplant and spot problems early, possibly without needing a biopsy.
This study is looking at how genes affect kidney transplant outcomes. It asks you to give extra blood, urine, stool, and kidney tissue samples over time, so researchers can learn more about why some transplants work better than others.
This study checks whether a special blood test can help detect heart transplant rejection or problems by comparing it to biopsy results. It may help your care team monitor your transplant with less guesswork.
This study looks for pieces of kidney DNA in the blood of people who have a kidney transplant and need a biopsy. The goal is to see if this test can help doctors know if the kidney is being rejected without needing a biopsy.
This study is for people with a kidney transplant who are in the hospital for a biopsy because their doctor suspects rejection. Researchers want to see if a simple blood or urine test can detect rejection, which might make future biopsies less necessary.
