Article Synopsis
- * The Banff Working Group introduced a new classification for PyVAN based on viral load and interstitial fibrosis levels to better understand and categorize the condition.
- * In a study of 124 kidney transplant patients, the new classification did not effectively predict risk for graft failure, with class 3 showing the worst outcomes but no significant differences between classes 1 and 2; additional factors like post-transplant timing and inflammation also played a role in graft failure.
The APOL1 gene mutation is increasingly recognized as an import factor in living kidney donation. APOL1 gene variants prevalent in the African American population have been associated with increased risk of glomerulopathy. Shorter allograft survival is seen in transplants from donors who had 2 risk APOL1 gene alleles.
