RESUMEN
T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) is one of the main mechanisms of rejection in organ transplantation, which is also the most common type of acute rejection.Based on Banff classification on allograft pathology (Banff classification) in 2019, TCMR can be divided into acute TCMR (aTCMR) and chronic active TCMR (caTCMR) according to the characteristics of immune lesions.In this article, the basic definition of TCMR, the research progress on TCMR pathology according to Banff classification for renal allograft, and the basic pathological changes and diagnostic grading of TCMR were reviewed, aiming to provide evidence for early identification, diagnosis and treatment of TCMR and prevent the progression of TCMR into caTCMR, thereby guarantying the long-term survival of both the renal allograft and recipient.
