| Abstract |
Chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) is the most common cause of kidney allograft failure. Protocol biopsies remain the "gold standard" in CAN recognition. However, renal allograft biopsies have numerous limitations. It is an invasive procedure connected with risk of complications, patient discomfort, and sampling errors. The aim of our study was to investigate the usefulness of transient elastography (TE) for the assessment of kidney allograft fibrosis in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). |
