The XVIth Banff Meeting for Allograft Pathology was held in Banff, Alberta, Canada, from September 19 to 23, 2022, as a joint meeting with the Canadian Society of Transplantation. In addition to a key focus on the impact of microvascular inflammation and biopsy-based transcript analysis on the Banff Classification, further sessions were devoted to other aspects of kidney transplant pathology, in particular T cell-mediated rejection, activity and chronicity indices, digital pathology, xenotransplantation, clinical trials, and surrogate endpoints. Although the output of these sessions has not led to any changes in the classification, the key role of Banff Working Groups in phrasing unanswered questions, and coordinating and disseminating results of investigations addressing these unanswered questions was emphasized. This paper summarizes the key Banff Meeting 2022 sessions not covered in the Banff Kidney Meeting 2022 Report paper and also provides an update on other Banff Working Group activities relevant to kidney allografts.
第十六届同种异体移植病理学班夫会议于 2022 年 9 月 19 日至 23 日在加拿大阿尔伯塔省班夫举行,是与加拿大移植学会的联合会议。除了重点关注微血管炎症和基于活检的转录分析对班夫分类的影响外,还专门讨论了肾脏移植病理学的其他方面,特别是 T 细胞介导的排斥反应、活性和慢性指数、数字病理学、异种移植、临床试验和替代终点。虽然这些会议的成果并没有导致分类的任何变化,但强调了班夫工作组在提出未解决问题、协调和传播解决这些未解决问题的研究结果方面的关键作用。本文总结了班夫会议 2022 年未涵盖在班夫肾脏会议 2022 年报告中的关键会议内容,并提供了与肾脏同种异体移植物相关的其他班夫工作组活动的最新信息。
