Banff Conference on Allograft Pathology

The Banff Conference on Allograft Pathology is a global meeting where medical experts gather to study and update standards for diagnosing diseases that affect transplanted organs, like kidneys, livers, and hearts. The conference focuses on improving how pathologists examine tissue samples from transplants to detect rejection or other issues. By standardizing terminology and criteria, it helps ensure consistent and accurate diagnosis, which is essential for effective treatment and long-term success of organ transplants. The findings influence clinical practices worldwide, ultimately aiming to enhance patient outcomes in transplantation medicine.
