This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.

Researchers in Germany have found that analysis of urine proteins using SURFACE-ENHANCED LASER DESORPTION/IONIZATION TIME-OF-FLIGHT MASS SPECTROMETRY (SELDI-TOF-MS) can be used to reliably diagnose acute allograft rejection in kidney transplant recipients. This noninvasive tool might be preferable to renal biopsy, the current gold-standard diagnostic method.
