Article Synopsis
  • - The Banff Working Group on Liver Allograft Pathology convened in September 2022 with a diverse group of experts to discuss long-term health monitoring of liver transplants, focusing on noninvasive methods and optimizing immunosuppression.
  • - The group considered revising the rejection classification scheme to better identify and communicate late T cell-mediated rejection patterns and related changes, like nodular regenerative hyperplasia.
  • - They emphasized the need for personalized immunosuppression strategies based on individual patient needs and proposed incorporating interface hepatitis and fibrosis staging into the rejection classification, which will undergo further testing and discussion before the next conference.

Primary hyperoxalurias are rare inborn errors of metabolism with deficiency of hepatic enzymes that lead to excessive urinary oxalate excretion and overproduction of oxalate which is deposited in various organs. Hyperoxaluria results in serious morbid-ity, end stage kidney disease (ESKD), and mortality if left untreated. Combined liver kidney transplantation (CLKT) is recognized as a management of ESKD for children with hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1).

Also, more than one insult can contribute to allograft injury.
