Overview
An observational study capturing real world transplant patients in the post-operative setting aiming to further determine the utility of biomarkers to improve outcomes.
Description
A prospective longitudinal observational study capturing patients receiving kidney transplants in Scotland. The primary objective is to assess whether there are clinical biomarkers present in the urine that determine the outcome of kidney transplants and predict early graft rejection.
