    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Transplant Pathology
    • Renal Histology

    Background:

    • Kidney transplantation in children is complex, with potential for various acquired renal lesions.
    • Understanding the spectrum of these lesions is vital for long-term graft survival.
    • Previous studies have highlighted common issues, but a comprehensive review of diverse pathologies is needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To retrospectively analyze the types and frequencies of acquired renal lesions in pediatric renal transplant recipients.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of renal biopsy in identifying these lesions.
    • To inform therapeutic strategies based on accurate histopathological diagnosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of renal biopsy data from 42 pediatric renal transplant cases.
    • Histopathological examination to identify and classify acquired renal lesions.
    • Correlation of findings with clinical data where available.

    Main Results:

    • A wide array of histologic lesions was identified in the pediatric renal allografts.
    • Acute and chronic rejection were the most prevalent findings.
    • Other significant lesions included metabolic, infectious, and vascular pathologies.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric renal transplants are susceptible to a broad spectrum of acquired histologic lesions beyond rejection.
    • Renal biopsy is an essential diagnostic tool for timely and accurate identification of these pathologies.
    • Prompt diagnosis via biopsy facilitates targeted therapeutic interventions and improves patient outcomes.
