Abstract

Renal allograft rejection involves many mechanisms of innate and adaptive immunity, responsible for parenchymal inflammatory lesions that negatively impact the long-term outcomes of the renal allograft. The heterogeneous presentations of rejections in terms of clinical, biological and histological aspects make them difficult to manage in daily clinical practice. Indeed, current therapeutic strategies are disappointing in term of long-term outcomes, including graft survival. In this article, we will discuss the main effector mechanisms of rejection and their histological classification, as well as the existing treatments and those currently under evaluation.
