Summary

This study looked at 25 kidney transplant patients to see if a blood test (AlloSure) could help them safely switch from several anti-rejection drugs to just one, Belatacept. The goal was to keep the new kidney healthy while reducing medication side effects. Researchers checked for rejection using kidney biopsies and followed patients for up to 3 years.
