Zusammenfassung

Die Lebertransplantation ist eine etablierte Therapieoption zur Behandlung von Patienten mit einer irreversiblen Lebererkrankung im Endstadium. Das Therapiemanagement der Patienten erfolgt interdisziplinär und verlangt von den Pathologen Kenntnisse sowohl der Klinik wie auch der Immunologie. Stetige Fortschritte in der Behandlung und die zunehmende klinische Erfahrung gehen mit der Weiterentwicklung der pathologischen Transplantationsdiagnostik einher. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden die neueste Klassifikation der T‑Zell-mediierten Abstoßung (TCMR), der antikörpermediierten Abstoßung (AMR) sowie Aspekte der Prätransplantationsdiagnostik vorgestellt und diskutiert.

Abstract

Liver transplantation is an established treatment option for patients with end-stage liver disease. The therapy management of these patients is interdisciplinary and requires pathologists to have both clinical and immunological knowledge. Continuous advances in treatment and increasing clinical experience are accompanied by the further development of pathological transplant diagnostics. This article presents and discusses the latest classification of T‑cell-mediated rejection (TCMR), antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), and aspects of pretransplant diagnostics.
