Summary

This study is being done to study a safe and non-invasive way to diagnose lung rejection and infection.

Description

Lung transplant recipients are at high risk for lung rejection and lung infection after transplant. This is diagnosed by performing lung bronchoscopies and lung biopsies. These procedures carry an increased risk for complications and are costly. This study is being done to study a safe and non-invasive way to diagnose lung rejection and infection.
