The urinary chemokines CXCL9 and CXCL10 are promising noninvasive diagnostic markers of acute rejection (AR) in kidney recipients, but their levels might be confounded by urinary tract infection (UTI) and BK-virus reactivation. Multiparametric model development and validation addressed these confounding factors in a training set of 391 samples, optimizing the diagnostic performance of urinary chemokines. […]
Decision curve analyses demonstrated the clinical utility of the model. Considering confounding factors rather than excluding them, we optimized a noninvasive multiparametric diagnostic model for AR of kidney allografts with unprecedented accuracy.
