Quantification of Interstitial Fibrosis in Renal Allografts and Clinical Correlates of Long-Term Graft Function.

CONCLUSIONS: A correlation was not found between %IF and Banff code scores. Greater increases in %IF within 1 year post transplantation may influence long-term graft survival. Computer-analyzed increases in %IF at 1 year may be a surrogate marker for long-term graft function.
