Analysis of Biomarkers Within the Initial 2 Years Posttransplant and 5-Year Kidney Transplant Outcomes

Abstract

We conclude that although pretransplant and early posttransplant ELISPOT and chemokine measurements associate with outcomes within 2 years posttransplant, changes in eGFR between 3 or 6 months and 24 months are better surrogates for 5-year outcomes, including graft loss.
