Banff Classification

The Banff Classification is a system used to evaluate and categorize kidney transplant biopsies. Developed in Banff, Canada, it helps researchers and doctors standardize the assessment of transplant rejection and other complications. The classification focuses on various signs of injury and rejection in kidney tissues, using specific criteria to classify conditions based on severity. This systematic approach facilitates better communication among medical professionals, enhances understanding of transplant outcomes, and aids in developing treatment strategies to improve kidney transplant success. Ultimately, it aims to ensure better patient care and long-term health of transplanted kidneys.
