Proteogenomic Monitoring and Assessment of Liver Transplant Recipients (NCT01644903)

🟢 Recruiting Interventional Protocol 📊 Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: Northwestern University

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This study is being done to test blood, urine and tissue samples to see if this can help decide if CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), AR (Acute Rejection) and HCV (Hepatitis C Virus) can be identified in its early stages. CKD damage to the kidneys, AR and HCV all lower the body's ability to function properly. Early detection of these conditions could assist with successful treatment and possibly lead to less repeat organ transplants.
