About Natera’s Prospera™ Transplant Assessment Test
Prospera™ is a cell-free DNA test that uses a blood sample to help identify and track risk of kidney rejection over time. This increases your care team's ability to treat rejection early, which can enable timely intervention to prolong the life of the donated kidney.
