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.
