The classification is broken into three classes, Banff Class 1-3. This case highlights an example of a Polyomavirus Nephropathy, Banff Class 3 with a pvl score of 3 and ci (fibrosis) score of 2.

It describes class 1 as an early PVN stage with favorable outcome, and classes 2 and 3 as having more pronounced impact on function with graft failure rates reaching 50% in class 3. The proposed PVN classification aims at improving clinico-pathologic correlation and the comparability of studies: a simple biopsy diagnosis of "PVN" no longer...
