"End stage renal diseases affect more than 3,900,000 patients worldwide with approximately 6% growth rate in 2016.
Kidney transplantation is currently the best therapeutic option with around 1,500,000 patients living with a kidney transplant. However, long-term graft survival has not been improved in the past 15 years and rejection is a major cause of graft loss, representing at least 12 billion € extra costs per year.
There is a major unmet need: a lack of robust tools to stratify the risk of rejection, graft function decline and graft loss.
To tackle this issue, the EU-TRAIN project aims at developing a risk stratification system in kidney transplantation by integrating multidimensional data from patients’ follow-up."
