Participate in the Banff ABMR Working Group Survey on Kidney Transplant Biopsy Interpretation

Michelle De Guia

The Banff Antibody-Mediated Injury (ABMR) Working Group invites transplant professionals worldwide to participate in a survey evaluating new approaches to communicating kidney transplant biopsy findings. Participants will review standardised kidney transplant rejection cases and indicate how they would manage each patient based on the biopsy findings provided. The results will help inform the future development

Announcing the ENGAGE III Survey: Advancing the Management of ABMR in Transplantation​

Chiara Parisotto

The ENGAGE Initiative – The EuropeaN Guidelines for the mAnagement of Graft rEcipients– continues its mission to strengthen clinical practice and research in transplantation.​ Building on the foundations of ENGAGE I and ENGAGE II, we are pleased to announce the launch of ENGAGE III. This new phase focuses on one of the most pressing challenges in transplant medicine: antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR).​ ​

The Science of ECP in Solid Organ Transplantation | ESOT

Michelle De Guia

Extracorporeal Photopheresis (ECP) continues to generate discussion across solid organ transplantation, particularly in the context of chronic rejection and immune modulation. ESOT’s on-demand Transplant Live programme explores the scientific rationale, clinical evidence and organ-specific applications of ECP in heart, lung and kidney transplantation.​ With expert insights covering mechanisms of action, chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD),

The ENGAGE Initiative: Reshaping the Landscape of Kidney Transplantation for Sensitised Patients

Michelle De Guia

The presence of anti-human leukocyte antigen (anti-HLA) antibodies defines transplant candidates as sensitised, a condition that affects access to transplantation, increasing waiting times and mortality rates. Following transplantation, sensitised patients have higher risk of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and graft failure when their anti-HLA antibodies are specific to the donor (DSA). Not all DSAs are equally
