- Abstract
Background. Renal myofibroblast infiltration has been shown to be strongly associated with renal function decline in several chronic renal diseases. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether early detection of myofibroblast infiltration using α‐smooth‐muscle actin (α‐SMA) expression in time‐zero biopsies predicts renal allograft dysfunction.
