Brief Summary: The investigators aim to develop a clinically validated histological acute tubular injury ATI scoring system to help improve diagnostic precision and predict clinical outcomes following ATI

To use an unbiased data-driven approach correlating pathological features including digital pathology key signatures using spatial technologies transcriptomics or proteinomics with relevant clinical outcomes Spatial technologies including spatial transcriptomics and spatial proteinomics allow the use of precision pathology to study the critical link between molecular characteristics to histological structure
Detailed Description: The study is an investigator-led retrospective observational cohort study This study is intended to be in perpetuity and there will be regular reporting to the local HREC Western Sydney Local Health District WSLHD

Primary aim the investigators aim to derive a clinically validated scoring system for acute kidney injury and iteratively improve its performance through machine learning algorithms over time

Secondary aims

Derive a spatially resolved transcriptomic signature of acute kidney injury AKI
Derive accurate transcriptomic signatures aligned with key cell types in AKI
Derive unique gene signatures to differentiate different causes of AKI

All participants included in the study must be age 18 years old at time of enrolment and

1 Had a kidney transplant at any time after the year 2000
2 Kidney biopsy sample sent to Westmead Hospital for clinical interpretation
3 Have information regarding kidney function available

This will include groups with

1 Acute tubular injury ATI only
2 ATI concurrently diagnosed with any other pathology on biopsy
3 Biopsies with no ATI negative control

Collection of health related data will be through review of primary medical records to improve the diagnostic utility of kidney biopsies performed to evaluate the cause of AKI

The investigators will also be requesting waiver of consent for access to histopathology slides and residual kidney tissue

Histopathology slides which were created and analysed as part of routine clinical care
Residual kidney tissue either as paraffin blocks or fresh frozen tissue
