Recent improvements in short-term renal allograft survival have shifted attention to the treatment and prevention of graft failure in the late posttransplant period. New immunosuppression protocols have dramatically reduced the incidence of acute rejection and improved 1-year graft survival rates. Such measures, however, have not reduced the incidence of chronic rejection, the leading cause of late graft failure [1–3]. Although the term ‘chronic rejection’implies immunologic mechanisms, nonimmunologic factors contribute to its pathogenesis and likely include renal ischemic injury, systemic hypertension, hyperfiltration, cyclosporine nephrotoxicity, and hyperlipidemia [4]. Vascular changes dominate the histologic picture of chronic rejection in different organs [5–7] and bear similarity to those of atherosclerosis [5, 8, 9]. Given the wellrecognized role which lipid abnormalities play in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic disease, dyslipidemia may contribute to the development of chronic rejection. This chapter will provide an overview of lipid abnormalities observed in the posttransplant period and describe experimental data examining the role of lipids in chronic rejection. It will also outline the clinical correlations of triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density (HDL) and low-density (LDL) lipoprotein cholesterol abnormalities in the setting of chronic renal allograft rejection.Renal insufficiency is often accompanied by hyperlipidemia which worsens in severity as one approaches end-stage renal disease (ESRD)[10–12]. Successful renal transplantation, however, does not ensure remission of azotemiaassociated dyslipidemia since 40–80% of transplant recipients may demonstrate elevated serum lipid concentrations in the late posttransplant period [13–16].
