Abstract:
PURPOSE OF REVIEW:The review will discuss the current pathological criteria for the diagnosis and classification of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) in the cardiac allograft. RECENT FINDINGS:Until recently, the diagnosis of AMR required clinical dysfunction, presence of donor specific antibodies and pathological alterations. The concept of asymptomatic AMR and its adverse long-term outcomes created, in part the need to reevaluate diagnostic criteria. The results of a recent consensus meeting sponsored by International Society For Heart And Lung Transplantation are discussed. SUMMARY:The diagnosis of AMR rests on histopathological and immunophenotypic findings. These provide the basis for a new grading scheme.
