Figures

FIGURE 1
FIGURE 1
This figure diagrams the specific variables at the time of indication biopsy that affect renal allograft survival. The strongest risk factors have thicker lines, and the injury score is strongest (red). ABMR, antibody-mediated rejection; DSA, donor-specific antibodies; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; TCMR, T cell–mediated rejection
