Validation study of peripheral blood diagnostic test for acute rejection in kidney transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In 2000, the United Network for Organ Sharing/Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Registry reported 540 recovered kidneys were discarded because of biopsy results, and 210 were discarded because of poor organ function. We compared the percentage of glomerulosclerosis (GS) and creatinine clearance (...
