Genetic testing for kidney transplant rejection in young patients
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at the genes in kidney biopsy tissue from children and young adults who have had a kidney transplant. Researchers want to find genetic markers that could help detect transplant rejection earlier, which might help doctors tailor treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years old or younger.
- You have received a single kidney transplant (from a living or deceased donor).
- You and/or your guardian can sign a consent form to participate.
- You have not received a multi-organ transplant.

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.
This study looks for small pieces of kidney DNA in the blood of kidney transplant patients. It aims to improve monitoring of transplant health.
This study looks at special blood tests to help predict when kidney transplant rejection might happen. If the markers work, they could help doctors catch rejection earlier and adjust treatment sooner.
This study looks at how genes affect long-term kidney transplant health. It aims to understand why some transplanted kidneys fail over time, and may help personalize care for transplant recipients.
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.
