This study will monitor for kidney rejection using the Allosure and AlloMap test. Subjects will be followed for 3 years post transplant.
The purpose of this study is to find out if there is a difference in how well the standard MUSC cytomegalovirus (CMV) prevention medicine works, compared to a different medicine, in preventing CMV infections in kidney transplant recipients who are at risk for this type of infection, while also assessing the tolerability of these two regimens. The two medication regimens being compared are valganciclovir (FDA approved to prevent and treat CMV infection) vs maribavir (FDA approved to treat CMV infection) plus acyclovir (FDA approved to prevent HSV infection).
This is a randomized study to test a smartphone app that a pharmacist will use to help kidney transplant patients track their medications, blood pressures, and blood sugars if they have diabetes. The goal of this study is to improve care and outcomes in kidney transplant patients and, in particular, help African American patients have better outcomes after transplant.
