Banff classification of renal transplant pathology tutorial 

Abstract

Banff classification represents a structured pathological classification system designed to improve the interobserver reproducibility in the reporting and classification of renal allograft pathology. It is categorized into six broad categories. The first category consists of normal findings on all assessment modalities and is discussed and illustrated in this tutorial. It is very important for practicing renal transplant pathologists to familiarize with this pattern in order not to miss important pathological lesions on renal allograft biopsies.
