This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.
Solez et al. have reported the conclusions of the 9th Banff Conference on Renal Allograft Pathology, held in La Coruña, Spain in June 2007. At this conference, the Banff criteria for renal allograft rejection were updated to include peritubular capillaritis scoring, complement degradation component C4d scoring, the reporting of C4d deposition in the absence of morphological evidence of active allograft rejection, and application of the criteria to biopsy samples taken at the time of transplantation. Other additions to the classification, the use of which remains optional pending 2 years of testing, are the scoring of total interstitial inflammation ('ti') and an alternative scoring system for hyaline arteriolar thickening. All existing scoring categories are unchanged.
