Renal allograft biopsy plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of renal allograft dysfunction in renal transplant recipients. With the exponential rise in the number of renal transplants taking place throughout the world, the renal transplant pathology has achieved a pre-eminent role among the multidisciplinary team caring for these patients. Renal transplant pathology is also a rapidly evolving subspecialty of renal pathology. It may be noted that the interpretation of renal transplant lesions on renal allograft biopsies in earlier Banff schemas was based predominantly on light microscopy (LM) and the tinctorial stains. The time is not far away when a combination of morphological changes on renal allograft biopsies with the molecular markers will be a feasible option to arrive at the most precise diagnosis of the transplant lesions. Peer review refers to the work done during the screening of submitted manuscripts and funding applications. This process encourages authors to meet the accepted standards of their discipline and reduces the dissemination of irrelevant findings, unwarranted claims, unacceptable interpretations, and personal views. Publications that have not undergone peer review are likely to be regarded with suspicion by academic scholars and professionals
