Precision scores for
kidney health decisions
TRSS™ (Transplant Recovery Stability Score) and KFS™ (Kidney Function Score) are proprietary scoring frameworks invented by Alena Kondratyeva — a kidney transplant recipient who began tracking her own scores by hand from her very first day of dialysis. What started on paper became the clinical engine behind ReLume Health, turning lived patient experience into actionable daily insights for patients and healthcare professionals.
Why We Created These Scores
Traditional laboratory values provide important information, but they often do not present the complete picture of kidney health.
ReLume Health created two proprietary scoring systems to combine multiple clinical and patient-reported factors into a single, easy-to-understand score.
TRSS™
Transplant Recovery Stability Score
Designed to monitor recovery and long-term transplant stability.
KFS™
Kidney Function Score
Designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of kidney function and overall kidney health.

Why They Were Created
ReLume Health was co-founded by Alena Kondratyeva, a kidney transplant recipient, and Ashley Ceja, who leads product strategy and growth.
After experiencing dialysis, transplantation, and recovery firsthand, Alena recognized that patients often struggle to understand the many pieces of information that determine kidney health. She began tracking her own scores by hand from her very first day of dialysis — before any software existed.
Together, Alena and Ashley turned those handwritten notes into TRSS™ and KFS™ — two original scoring frameworks designed to transform complex clinical data into meaningful daily guidance.
Original proprietary kidney health scoring frameworks currently under development to improve patient understanding and support clinical decision-making.
What's Included
Multiple data signals combine into two clear, actionable scores.
TRSS™ Score
Transplant Recovery
KFS™ Score
Kidney Function
KFS™
Kidney Function Score
The KFS™ gives dialysis patients a single, easy-to-understand number (0–100) reflecting overall kidney function health. A higher score means more stable function.
What it measures:
- Estimated GFR (kidney filtration rate)
- Lab result trends over time
- Symptom burden over the last 7 days
- Dialysis session adherence (last 30 days)
Available for Dialysis profile patients
Calculated daily from your logged health data
TRSS™
Transplant Recovery Stability Score
The TRSS™ monitors how stable your transplanted kidney is. It watches for early signs of rejection using multiple data signals — giving you and your care team a heads-up before symptoms appear.
What it measures:
- Creatinine trend (the #1 rejection indicator)
- Immunosuppressant medication adherence
- Symptom burden including fever, swelling, urine output
- Time since transplant modifier
Available for Post-Transplant profile patients
Calculated from creatinine, medications, and symptoms
For Clinicians
Both scores are available in the ReLume Clinic Portal with patient-level breakdowns, trend history, and risk-sorted patient lists.
Important: TRSS™ and KFS™ are proprietary scoring frameworks developed by ReLume Health. They are intended to support patient understanding and clinical decision-making and are not a substitute for professional medical judgment.
