UK Trial Tests Skin Patch to Detect Lung Transplant Rejection Early
A UK clinical trial known as Sentinel is testing whether a small patch of skin from an organ donor can help detect lung transplant rejection at an earlier stage. The patch is grafted onto the patient’s forearm, making it possible to monitor visible changes such as rashes that may signal rejection before standard tests do. Scientists believe the skin may show signs of rejection earlier than other organs and is easier to observe directly.
In one case, a patient who received a lung transplant in 2024 noticed a purple rash on the patch, which led doctors to detect mild rejection early and begin steroid treatment promptly. The research team hopes the trial will improve understanding of transplantation and help patients live longer and healthier lives.
