Purpose Early assessment of renal allograft function post‐transplantation is crucial to minimize and control allograft rejection. Biopsy — the gold standard — is used only as a last resort due to its invasiveness, high cost, adverse events (e.g., bleeding, infection, etc.), and the time for reportin...
