Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review explores the variability in preimplantation kidney biopsy processing methods, emphasizing their impact on histological interpretation and allocation decisions driven by biopsy findings. With the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in digital pathology, it is timely to evaluate whether these advancements can overcome current challenges and improve organ allocation amidst a growing organ shortage.
