Clinical Trial: Assessment of Perceived Stress in an Observational Study Evaluating a Biopsy-sparing Surveillance Strategy in Kidney Transplant Recipients With Blood and Urinary Biomarkers Predictive of the Absence of Rejection

U.S., Nov. 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07917884) titled 'Assessment of Perceived Stress in an Observational Study Evaluating a Biopsy-sparing Surveillance Strategy in Kidney Transplant Recipients With Blood and Urinary Biomarkers Predictive of the Absence of Rejection' on Oct. 21.

Brief Summary: There is currently no consensus recommendation regarding the routine use of surveillance kidney allograft biopsies during the first year after transplantation. As a result, the decision to perform surveillance biopsies remains center-dependent, and their long-term clinical benefit has not been conclusively demonstrated.
