Transcriptome analysis is a superior method for predicting delayed kidney graft function
This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.
Prediction of the quality of organs donated for transplantation might soon be improved by microarray analysis of the genes expressed in biopsy samples. Mueller et al. evaluated the potential of 'transcriptomics' to determine the risk of delayed renal graft function (DGF), by comparing the results of automated RNA analyses with those from clinical and histopathological examinations. Tests were performed on 87 post-reperfusion biopsy samples taken from kidneys from 31 deceased donors and 45 living donors.
