At their industry symposium at ISHLT2026, Natera highlighted how donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) not only rules out rejection with high confidence but also detects broader allograft injury. Experts discussed emerging data on EMI, which is strongly linked to poor outcomes, including increased risk of CLAD. 

Through the support of Natera, this session is now available for you to view on demand.
