Banff '05 Meeting Report: differential diagnosis of chronic allograft injury and elimination of chronic allograft nephropathy ('CAN').

TLDR
The 8th Banff Conference on Allograft Pathology was held in Edmonton, Canada, 15–21 July 2005, and major outcomes included the elimination of the non‐specific term ‘chronic allograft nephropathy’ (CAN) and the recognition of the entity of chronic antibody‐mediated rejection.

Calcineurin Inhibitor Nephrotoxicity

TL;DR: The authors critically review the current evidence relating systemic blood levels of cyclosporine and tacrolimus to calcineurin inhibitor nephrotoxicity, and summarize the data suggesting that local exposure to cycloporine or tacolimus could be more important than systemic exposure.

Understanding the causes of kidney transplant failure: the dominant role of antibody-mediated rejection and nonadherence.

TL;DR: This prospective cohort indicates that many actual failures after indication biopsies manifest phenotypic features of antibody‐mediated or mixed rejection and also underscores the major role of nonadherence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identifying Specific Causes of Kidney Allograft Loss

TL;DR: Targets for investigation and intervention are identified that may result in improved kidney transplantation outcomes and alloinmunity remains the most common mechanism leading to failure.

Molecular heterogeneity in acute renal allograft rejection identified by DNA microarray profiling.

TL;DR: Systematic analysis of gene-expression patterns provides a window on the biology and pathogenesis of renal allograft rejection, and reveals a striking association between dense CD20+ B-cell infiltrates and both clinical glucocorticoid resistance and graft loss.

Chronic Humoral Rejection: Identification of Antibody-Mediated Chronic Renal Allograft Rejection by C4d Deposits in Peritubular Capillaries

TL;DR: C4d can be used to separate this group of CR from the nonspecific category of chronic allograft nephropathy and may have the potential to guide successful therapeutic intervention and support the hypothesis that a substantial fraction of CR is mediated by antibody (immunologically active).

Antibody-mediated organ-allograft rejection

TL;DR: Antibody induces rejection acutely through the fixation of complement, resulting in tissue injury and coagulation, and complement activation recruits macrophages and neutrophils, causing additional endothelial injury.
