The invention relates to a method for identifying a renal allograft recipient at risk for chronic injury. A method for identifying a renal allograft recipient at risk for chronic allograft damage or interstutial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IF/TA) compares the transcription level of a preselected gene signature set with the transcription level of a comparison standard, and diagnoses the recipientas being at risk for chronic allograft damage if the transcription level of the preselected gene signature set is significantly higher than the transcription level of the comparison standard.
