Disclosed herein are methods of detecting, predicting or monitoring a status or outcome of a transplant in a transplant recipient. In some aspects, a method for detecting or predicting a condition of a transplant recipient comprises a) obtaining a sample, wherein the sample comprises one or more gene expression products from the transplant recipient; b) performing an assay to determine an expression level of the one or more gene expression products from the transplant recipient; and c) detecting or predicting the condition of the transplant recipient by applying an algorithm to the expression level determined in step (b), wherein the algorithm is a classifier capable of distinguishing between at least two conditions that are not normal conditions, and wherein one of the at least two conditions is transplant rejection or transplant dysfunction. |
