KTRSensor Scotland Study: An Observational Study Into Predictors and Diagnosis of Kidney Transplant Rejection

KTRSensor Scotland Study: Investigating the Role of Biomarkers in Kidney Transplant Outcomes

An observational study capturing real world transplant patients in the post-operative setting aiming to further determine the utility of biomarkers to improve outcomes.

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.

Any patient within a Scottish Transplant centre who has undergone renal transplant (+/- pancreas/islet) and is due to attend routine follow-up appointments at the index centre.

Exclusion criteria:

• no previous kidney transplant
• patient attending follow-up at a peripheral site
• unable to provide urine samples across the study duration
