A retrospective study of acquired renal lesions in 42 renal transplants in children revealed a variety of histologic lesions. Although acute and chronic rejection changes were the most frequent, a number of metabolic, infectious, vascular, and other lesions were encountered. Renal biopsy allows rapid diagnosis of these lesions, permitting rational planning for therapy.
