All biopsies were assessed using light (LM), immunofluorescence (IF), and electron microscopy (EM) and reported independently by two transplant pathologists using Banff 2019 update1 of the Banff 97 classification.2 All biopsies were negative for peritubular capillary staining for complement factor 4 fragment d (C4d) tested by immunofluorescence. All biopsies were negative for BK virus (SV40 large T antigen, immunoperoxidase staining).
