Prospective evaluation of donor-derived cell-free DNA for noninvasive detection of acute rejection in an Asian heart transplant population
Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is the gold standard for diagnosing post-heart transplant acute rejection (AR) but is invasive. Donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) is a promising noninvasive biomarker, yet thresholds for Asian recipients remain undefined. This prospective study enrolled 80 patients, with 299 dd-cfDNA sp...
