[HTML][HTML] Inflammation lesions in kidney transplant biopsies: association with survival is due to the underlying diseases
Assessment of kidney transplant biopsies relies on nonspecific inflammatory lesions:
Interstitial infiltrates (i), tubulitis (t) and intimal arteritis (v). We studied the relationship
between inflammation and prognosis in biopsies for clinical indications from 314 patients
(median follow-up 25 months). We used a modified Banff classification, separately
assessing inflammation (i-) in nonscarred (i-Banff), scarred (i-IFTA) and whole cortex (i-total),
plus tubulitis and intimal arteritis. In early biopsies (< 1 year), i-and t-lesions had no …
