PEREZ RODRIGUEZ, Alexis et al. Acute subclinical rejection in the patient with kidney transplant. Rev cubana med [online]. 2008, vol.47, n.3. ISSN 0034-7523.

The acute subclinical rejection of the tranasplanted kidney is the rejection process without clinical expression that appears between a third and a half of the patient undergoing renal transplant, generally in the first three months after the transplant. Nowadays, the main cause of the loss of transplanted kidneys is chronic rejection, since in spite of the appearance of new immunosuppressive drugs and the reduction of the acute rejection it has not been possible to achieve a significant impact of transplant survival on the long term because of this rejection. It has been proved that there is a close association between the subclinical acute rejection processes and the existence of chronic rejection. That's why, the screening of this complication is very important among patients receiving kidney transplant
