Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Renal transplantation (RTx/KTx) is one, if not the most common, transplant procedure undertaken worldwide. Consequently, purposeful and incidental imaging of renal transplants and renal transplant-related complications are increasingly common. These include acute renal transplant rejection and chronic renal transplant rejection. Both donors and recipients undergo a preoperative workup ¹."

Line 1:145 · Use the Oxford comma in 'Consequently, purposeful and incidental'.

Commas

suggestion

"tubulointerstitial disease: autoimmune (Sjögren disease, tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU)), infection, drugs, sarcoidosis, chronic hypercalcaemia/hyperkalaemia, cystinosis, polycystic kidney disease"

Line 14:74 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

Inline EG

suggestion

"complications related to underlying disease, or the renal transplant and its associated anti-rejection medications (e.g. osteonecrosis)"

Line 51:123 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.
