[HTML][HTML] Subclinical rejection associated with chronic allograft nephropathy in protocol biopsies as a risk factor for late graft loss
F Moreso, M Ibernon, M Goma, M Carrera… - American Journal of …, 2006 - Elsevier
Chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) in protocol biopsies is associated with graft loss while
the association between subclinical rejection (SCR) and outcome has yielded contradictory
results. We analyze the predictive value of SCR and/or CAN in protocol biopsies on death-
censored graft survival. Since 1988, a protocol biopsy was done during the first 6 months in
stable grafts with serum creatinine< 300 μmol/L and proteinuria< 1 g/day. Biopsies were
evaluated according to Banff criteria. Borderline changes and acute rejection were grouped …
