Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to materials and methods for predicting and diagnosing acute rejection in liver transplant recipients. Methods of the disclosure are useful, in various embodiments, for adjusting or initiating therapies (e.g., immunosuppressive (IS) therapy) in patients who would benefit therefrom.

Abstract: By a genome-wide gene analysis of expression profiles of known or putative gene sequences in peripheral blood and biopsy samples, the present inventors have identified a consensus set of gene expression-based molecular biomarkers for distinguishing liver transplantation patients who have Acute Rejection (AR), Hepatitis C Virus Recurrence (HCV-R), both AR/HCV-R, or Acute Dysfunction No Rejection (ADNR). These molecular biomarkers are useful for diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of liver transplantation patients.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for predicting, inhibiting, and treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a subject that that is preparing to undergo a liver transplant. The methods may include detecting a protein biomarker in a serum sample from the subject prior to the subject being administered a liver transplant procedure and/or after the subject has been administered the liver transplant procedure. Suitable protein markers for the disclosed methods may include but are not limited to osteopontin (OPN) and/or tissue inhibitor of metalloproteases 1 (TIMP1).
