Renal transplantation is the most effective therapy in end-stage renal disease. The prognosis of transplant survival is still determined by rejection. Morphologically, this involves interstitial rejection with potential development of vascular rejection (VR) and/or glomerular rejection processes, designated as transplant glomerulopathy (TGP). The cellular infiltrates are usually dominated by lymphocytes and macrophages in differing quantity, characterizing the severity of the rejection processes.
