Award for the APOLLO Clinical Center to study long-term kidney transplant outcomes in donors with recent African ancestry, aiming to improve transplant success and organ allocation.
Description
The project aims to assess factors determining time to allograft failure, post-transplant kidney function, and proteinuria in kidneys from donors with recent African ancestry. The study involves collection of long-term follow-up data, biospecimens, and digital pathology slides. The project is part of the NIH APOLLO Consortium, involving multiple clinical centers. The goal is to improve organ allocation, informed consent, and kidney transplant outcomes, especially in African American populations.
