Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The optimal timing for immunosuppression tapering for patients with failed kidney transplant is not known. This pilot study would be to correlate rise in cf-DNA and increase in cPRA.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an observational cohort study collecting data and blood specimens at designated time points. The primary outcome will be comparing the cPRA in patients that have a rise in cf-DNA to those that do not have a rise in cf-DNA. Seondary outcomes include comparison of the combined incidence of need for transfusion, need for methylprednisolone and allograft nephrectomy, ESA dose, allograft tenderness, and gross hematuria.
