Banff i- and t-score • Do not consider for i-score: • subcapsular infiltrates • perivascular infiltrates • fibrotic areas • areas of tubular atrophy • ?nodular infiltrates Table 4 - Quantitative Criteria for Mononuclear Cell Interstitial Inflammation ("i") Scores i0 - No or trivial interstitial inflammation (<10% of unscarred parenchyma) i1 - 10 to 25% of parenchyma inflamed i2 - 26 to 50% of parenchyma inflamed i3 - >50% of parenchyma inflamed • Do not consider for t-score: • moderately to severe atrophic tubules • ?mild atrophic tubules in areas of tubular atrophy and fibrosis • ?tubules in areas with minor inflammation Table 2 - Quantitative Criteria for Tubulitis ("t") Score (applies to tubules no more than mildly atrophic) t0 - No mononuclear cells in tubules t1 - Foci with 1 to 4 cells/tubular cross section or 10 tubular cells t2 - Foci with 5 to 10 cells/tubular cross section t3 - Foci with >10 cells/tubular cross section, or the presence of at least two areas of tubular basement membrane destruction accompanied by i2/i3 inflammation and t2 tubulitis elsewhere in the biopsy.

Conclusions about new total-i-score • Comprises primarily two major inflammatory compartments: • i-Banff (non-scarred) • i-IFTA (scarred) • reflects better the molecular burden of inflammation and tissue injury • more robust predictor of allograft survival
Proposal for total i-score • Test reproducibility for i-Banff, i-IFTA, and total i-score: • if feasible, reporting of the different inflammatory compartments might allow to design new clinical trials • Incorporate into the Banff-classification as a prognostic lesion • either as ti-score alone or together with i-Banff and i-IFTA
