Simple pee test could replace risky biopsies for kidney transplant patients

NCT ID NCT01380847

Summary

This study tested whether a non-invasive urine test could predict dangerous scarring in transplanted kidneys. Researchers followed 300 kidney transplant patients for a year, analyzing genetic markers in their urine. The goal was to see if this test could accurately identify patients at risk of transplant failure, potentially replacing the need for painful needle biopsies.
