KIDNEY - Transplant, chronic rejection

Description
The specimen consists of a hemisected kidney. There is extensive dystrophic calcification. This is situated mainly in the immediate subcapsular area. The normal corticomedullary architecture of the kidney is lost and the kidney structures are replaced by diffuse, pale brown necrotic debris. The interlobar vessels are still visible. The features are those of chronic transplant rejection with marked dystrophic calcification.
