Blood test may replace biopsies for kidney transplant patients
NCT ID NCT07231328
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 600 kidney transplant patients to see if a blood test (TruGraf and TRAC) can help doctors manage immunosuppression and detect early signs of rejection. The goal is to improve long-term outcomes by reducing the need for invasive biopsies. Participants will be monitored for 24 months after their transplant.
