Current Issue Highlights
A critical aspect of deceased donor organ transplantation is the method of offering organs to the patients awaiting transplantation. Inherent in this method is making sure that the priority ranking for each patient is observed and that their transplant center has the opportunity to accept the organ. This month, Mankowski et al (page 3071) demonstrate that a model of parallel, as opposed to sequential, offering could markedly decrease the time spent allocating kidneys, potentially reducing cold ischemic time and discard rate. Jayme Locke and Marty Sellers provide a thoughtful editorial (page 2971) highlighting the potential benefits of this approach. Cover design by Megan Llewellyn, Duke University Department of Surgery.

Abstract
The 2013 Banff Transplant Conference defines revised, consensus criteria for acute/active and chronic, active antibody‐mediated rejection in renal allograft biopsies, criteria that include C4d‐negative antibody‐mediated rejection and antibody‐associated arterial lesions. Also see comprehensive review by Djamali et al on page 255.

Abstract
This study of kidney transplant failures following biopsies for indication finds that most failures are due to antibody‐mediated rejection, with nonadherence playing an important role.

Abstract
The Ninth Banff Conference on Allograft Pathology held in La Coruna, Spain June 23‐29, 2007 resulted in new developments pertaining to C4d staining, peritubular capillaritis, protocol biopsies, lesion scoring, and eventual incorporation of “omics” technologies into kidney transplant rejection diagnosis.

Abstract
Prospective monitoring for de novo donor‐specific antibody in renal transplantation using clinical, serological and histopathological methods uncovers distinct clinical phenotypes and the pathology associated with them, as well as the independent risk factors for their development. See editorial by Kokko and Colvin on page 1077.
