[Pathogenic mechanism, morphology, diagnosis and therapy of the rejection of the transplanted kidney].
A review of renal rejection is given. The immunology, morphology, clinical presentation, diagnosis and therapy of hyperacute, accelerated, acute and chronic rejection is given. Own data are given showing that repeated bedside renograms and repeated bedside sonograms are extremely helpful in confirming the rejection diagnosis especially in anuric patients. New fast fixation method is described, so morphological workup can be done within 4 h after renal biopsy is taken.
