Our specific aims are to (1) investigate whether the levels of 21 mRNAs encoding genes involved in EMT/fibrogenesis and the alloimmune response are a sensitive and specific non-invasive diagnostic test for CAN in renal allografts; (2) determine whether mRNA profiles of sequential urine specimens can predict the development of CAN during the first year post-transplantation; and (3) determine whether mRNA profiles of sequential urine specimens predict the subsequent development of graft dysfunction as assessed by estimated GFR at 12, 24 and 36 months after transplantation.
