The Composite Molecular and Cellular Instability Score Identifies the Sub-Phenotypes of Histologically Stable Kidney Transplants
D. Rychkov
Department of Surgery, BCHSI, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA

Calibration of Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA Criteria for Rejection with Molecular Diagnoses of Kidney Transplant Biopsies
I. Moinuddin¹, D. Kumar¹, L. Kamal¹, A. King¹, L. Kang¹, M. Levy¹, S. Bobba¹, D. Massey¹, P. Halloran², G. Gupta¹
¹Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, ²Alberta Transplant Genomics Applied Centre, Edmonton, AB, Canada
*Purpose: Traditional microscopic histopathologic assessment (HDx) can be prone to error due to inter-observer variability as well as the non-specificity of some histologic lesions. Donor-derived…
