International standardization of criteria for the histologic diagnosis of renal allograft rejection : the Banff working classification of kidney transplant pathology

TLDR
A schema for international standardization of nomenclature and criteria for the histologic diagnosis of renal allograft rejection was developed in Banff, Canada on August 2-4, 1991 and validated by the circulation of sets of slides for scoring by participant pathologists.

TL;DR: The membrane has long been viewed as an inert cellophane-like membrane that lines the circulatory system with its primary essential function being the maintenance of vessel wall permeability.

The natural history of chronic allograft nephropathy.

TL;DR: Chronic allograft nephropathy represents cumulative and incremental damage to nephrons from time-dependent immunologic and nonimmunologic causes, and was irreversible, resulting in declining renal function and graft failure.

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.

The significance of the anti-class I response. II. Clinical and pathologic features of renal transplants with anti-class I-like antibody.

TL;DR: It is concluded that patients with antibody against donor class I had more severe rejection, probably because anti-class I injuries the endothelium of small blood vessels of the graft, leading to rapid functional deterioration.

The significance of the anti-class I antibody response. I. Clinical and pathologic features of anti-class I-mediated rejection.

TL;DR: The pathologic features suggest that anti-class I antibody appearing or persisting in the early posttransplant period injures the endothelium of the microvasculature, with the clinical presentation different from that of hyperacute rejection.
