One of the biggest concerns about organ transplantation is how well the transplant recipient’s body is receiving the donated organ. The first successful kidney transplant occurred in 1954 when the recipient’s donor was their identical twin. But not everyone is lucky enough to have someone in their life with such a similar genetic makeup.
In the latest episode of Tomorrow’s World Today, field reporter Darieth Chisolm heads to CareDx headquarters, where she learns how to focus on each recipient’s transplant journey to ensure that all transplant recipients receive personalized attention specifically for their transplanted organ .
“100% dedicated to patient transplantation, CareDx has innovated for the last 20 years to improve long-term outcomes. We are at an exciting turning point as we develop comprehensive solutions that enable direct patient engagement and personalized care.” said Peter Maag, Executive Chairman at CareDx.
Chisolm learns about AlloSure, CareDx’s non-invasive test to measure organ health, and how drones safely help bring organs to hospitals.
“AlloSure has revolutionized transplant management and provides clarity about the performance of the transplanted organ. The majority of transplant centers in the US now use AlloSure to care for their patients and we continue to innovate with multimodal solutions to provide better insights, ”said Dr. Sham Dholakia, SVP for Medical Affairs at CareDx.
