Prediction system for risk of allograft loss in patients receiving kidney transplants: international derivation and validation study

9/21/2019

The first universal algorithm for predicting the risk of kidney transplant loss, named iBox, has been developed, validated and just made public by teams from Europe and the US.

The iBox is designed for clinicians to personalize and improve patient follow-up. The iBox could also accelerate the development of new immunosuppressive treatments by reducing the duration of clinical trials and defining a valid surrogate endpoint.

Chronic kidney disease affects 1 out of 10 people worldwide and is steadily increasing. When it reaches end-stage renal disease and endangers the lives of patients, dialysis or transplantation is required.
