This case study describes the renal biopsy results of a patient who underwent a cadaveric kidney transplant and developed acute tubulointerstitial rejection. The biopsy also suggests early chronic transplant glomerulopathy. The patient experienced flu-like symptoms and dehydration, leading to increased creatinine levels and the need for further investigation.
