B, Kidney biopsy performed after the occurrence of de novo DSA (Masson's trichrome, magnification × 200). The biopsy, performed after ICU discharge, found a severe, diffuse proximal tubule injury, in this context suggesting a Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 kidney injury, associated with an interstitial infiltration (scored Banff i1) and tubulitis (scored Banff t2). C0, trough concentration; DSA, donor‐specific antibodies; ICU, intensive care unit; MPA, mycophenolic acid; tac, tacrolimus; Tx, transplantation
