Be Proactive with Prospera™ to Surveil Your New Kidney
More informed, better protection
You and your provider understand the importance of preserving the function of a newly transplanted kidney. Achieving this goal could mean avoiding both dialysis and returning to the transplant list.
Early, informed treatment of underlying disease and patient adherence to medications are essential to preserving kidney function.
How Does It Work?
From a single blood draw, Prospera™ measures the amount of donor DNA from your transplanted kidney in your blood. This helps your care team assess all types of rejection more precisely than available standard assessment tools.1
What do the Prospera™ Results Mean to Me?
The Prospera™ result represents the percent of cell-free DNA in your blood that originates from the donated kidney to determine whether or not you may be experiencing active rejection. It may also indicate other types of kidney injury you are experiencing.
Like your other regular monitoring tests, Prospera™ is recommended for periodic use over time as directed by your doctor.
A way to track your cell-free DNA over time
- Establishing a baseline tells you and your care team the “normal state” of your new kidney. You can measure new results against this baseline.
- Following your levels in the future reveals your new kidney’s health
If a Prospera result is above 1%
This may mean that active rejection is occurring2. Terms used to describe the various types of active rejection include:
- Antibody-mediated rejection
- T cell-mediated rejection
- Mixed rejection
To confirm a rejection or the type of rejection, you should consult your doctor.
If a Prospera™ result is in the normal range
This may mean that your kidney is stable1.
