Abstract
The Banff classification of renal allograft rejection grades acute tubulointerstitial rejection (AIR) by severity of tubulitis and acute vascular rejection (AVR) by severity of arteritis. The intensity of tubulitis has not, however, been demonstrated to be of prognostic value and other features such as glomerulitis and eosinophil infiltration are of uncertain significance. This study was performed in order to determine the clinical value of this pathological classification.
