Proenkephalin A 119-159 (penKid) Leads the Way in Predicting Graft Outcomes for Kidney Transplant Recipients
PenKid surpasses serum creatinine on Day 1 post-transplant in detecting delayed graft function (DGF), with an AUROC of 0.87 versus 0.56 for creatinine. PenKid differentiates slow graft function (SGF) from DGF up to 8 days earlier than current methods, supporting more timely clinical decisions. PenKid levels remain unaffected by kidney replacement therapy (KRT), allowing for […]
