Abstract

Acute rejection is the most important threat to transplanted kidneys in the early phase after transplantation. With the advances in renal transplant surgery and immunosuppressive therapies. one-year graft survival rates reached 90%, but long-term graft survival did not improve to a similar degree. To prevent acute rejection more effectively and decrease the risk of chronic nephropathy development, the pathogenesis and effects of acute rejection on renal grafts should be further explored.
