Abstract:
We have created the chronic allograft damage index (CADI), which quantifies the early histopathological changes in renal allografts. In this study we showed that the CADI at 2 years after renal transplantation predicted the graft outcome 4 years later and that the CADI identified the risk group that proceeded to chronic rejection during subsequent years.
