I am pleased to present this monograph on chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN), a clinical entity which emphasizes the slow arion of kidney function in kidney transplant recipients usually due to a combination of immunological and non-immunological factors. This book begins with a short introduction, following which Prof. Vinay Sakhuja and Dr. Raja Ramachandran discuss the clinical features and diagnostic pathology of CAN. They highlight the Banff classification and histological features of the newer terminology of IF/TA for what was earlier called CAN. Dr. Kamal Sud and Prof. Jeremy Chapman then discuss the etiopathogenesis and bring out very clearly that serum creatinine is elevated only in the late stages of CAN by which me the changes in the graft are irreversible and inevitably progress to graft failure.
