• The interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy grade was a determinant factor for stiffness ratio and shear-wave dispersion slope ratio between cortex and renal sinus fat. • Shear-wave dispersion slope ratio between cortex and renal sinus fat could identify acute rejection in renal allografts. • A shear-wave dispersion slope has a potential to reduce unnecessary renal biopsy for evaluating renal allografts.
