Donor-derived cell-free DNA predicts allograft failure and mortality after lung transplantationResearch in context

EBioMedicine, 2019
Background: Allograft failure is common in lung-transplant recipients and leads to poor outcomes including early death. No reliable clinical tools exist to identify patients at high risk for allograft failure.

Sustained Molecular Allograft Injury After Episodes of Acute Rejection and Organizing Pneumonia Increases the Risk of Lung Allograft Failure

Transplantation Direct
Background. Despite treatment of major risk factors such as acute rejection (AR) and organizing pneumonia (OP) in lung transplant recipients, chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) still develops at high rates, suggesting that traditional methods of ...
