Renal Transplant Injury and the Renin-Angiotensin System in Kids (RETASK)
The RETASK study was an observational cohort study aimed at identifying noninvasive biomarkers of early and chronic subclinical renal graft injury in paediatric kidney transplant recipients. It involved 29 participants, aged 1 to 20 years, recruited from Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford, United States of America. Participants were recruited between 2013 and 2015 from the hospital’s kidney transplant evaluation clinic, and all were actively listed for transplant during the enrollment period. Follow-up occurred intensively post-transplant: at 12 and 24 hours, daily for one week, weekly for one month, and monthly until six months, with additional sample collection during any clinically significant events such as rejection or infection; protocol biopsies were performed at three and six months.
