Implication

Review reveals how multi-omic analysis of urine-derived cells and extracellular vesicles monitors kidney graft health, highlighting non-invasive strategies to detect rejection and fibrosis.

Key Points

To review the potential of urine-derived cells, extracellular vesicles, and multi-omic technologies as non-invasive biomarkers for monitoring kidney transplant health.
Synthesized current literature examining exfoliated cells and extracellular vesicles within the urinary ecosystem of kidney transplant recipients.
Evaluated the integration of transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and single-cell profiling technologies applied to urinary liquid biopsies.
Exfoliated urinary cells and extracellular vesicles serve as direct markers of intragraft tissue injury, inflammation, immune infiltration, and cellular repair.
Multi-omic profiling of urinary components identifies specific molecular signatures correlated with allograft rejection, delayed graft function, fibrosis, and premature graft failure.
