Noninvasive biomarkers are needed to assess immune risk and ultimately guide therapeutic
decision-making following kidney transplantation. A requisite step toward these goals is

Trials in Organ Transplantation-01 protocol is a multicenter observational study of
biomarkers in 280 adult and pediatric first kidney transplant recipients. We compared and
validated urinary mRNAs and proteins as biomarkers to diagnose biopsy-proven acute …
