Implementing systematic early protocol biopsies in routine practice: An exploratory real-world study
Key Points
The aim is to evaluate the implementation of routine protocol biopsies for early detection of subclinical rejection.
Exploratory real-world study design
Implementation of systematic protocol biopsies
Assessment of discharge eGFR and its predictive value for outcomes
Early detection of subclinical rejection was facilitated through protocol biopsies.
Discharge eGFR was identified as a strong predictor of long-term transplant outcomes.
Abstract
Protocol biopsies are key for early detection of subclinical rejection, enabling timely intervention. Discharge eGFR strongly predicts long-term outcomes.
