'''Renal transplant pathology''' is grouped with the ''[[medical kidney diseases]]'', as this one leads to the other, and many renal transplants have recurrence of the pathology that lead to renal failure.
'''Renal transplant pathology''', also '''kidney tranplant pathology''', is grouped with the ''[[medical kidney diseases]]'', as this usually precedes the transplant.  Also, many renal transplants have recurrence of the pathology that lead to renal failure.


=Rejection - overview=
=Rejection=
Rejection can be:
There is a consensus on categories - known as "Banff 97".
*Acute.
*Chronic.
*Acute-on-chronic.
