title: Value of a simple method to assess chronic rejection in renal allograft on electron microscopy.
abstract: Electron microscopy is a powerful tool for the assessment of complex lesions in nontumor renal pathology, however it is a time-consuming procedure. We evaluated a simple method to assess morphological signs of chronic rejection in renal allograft that seems to have prognostic significance.
