Adjusted survival: 1993-1997 incident patients Transplant has better outcomes than Dialysis Incident dialysis patients & patients receiving a first transplant in the calendar year. All probabilities are adjusted for age, gender, & race; overall probabilities are also adjusted for primary diagnosis. All ESRD patients, 1996, used as reference cohort. Modality determined on first ESRD service date; excludes patients transplanted or dying during the first 90 days. http://www.usrds.org/2007/pdf/06_hosp_morte_07.pdf 2

Acute Cellular Rejection Detailed BANFF staging Borderline changes no intimal arteritis, mild tubulitis (1-4 mononuclear cells/tubular cross section) 10 to 25 % involvement of the interstitium. Type I Significant interstitial inflammation (>25 percent of parenchyma affected) and Type 1A - moderate tubulitis (>4 mononuclear cells/tubular section). Type IB- severe tubulitis (>10 mononuclear cells/tubular section) Type II Arteritis found in at least one arterial cross section. Type IIA-Mild to moderate arteritis Type IIB- Severe arteritis, which is associated with greater than 25 percent loss of the luminal area Type III Transmural arteritis, and/or arterial fibrinoid alterations, and necrosis of medial smooth muscle cells occurring in association with lymphocytic inflammation of the vessel. 60
