Best Practice No 160 Renal biopsy specimens
Taking a kidney biopsy is not a trivial procedure. The sample is almost invariably smaller than the pathologist would like. Investigation usually requires division into even smaller samples to permit the application of specialist techniques. In some cases the biopsy is taken not for diagnosis, but to assess the extent of tissue damage. The clinical need is sometimes extremely urgent. These feat...
متن کاملPercutaneous renal biopsy specimens in stone formers.
A series of renal biopsy specimens taken at the time of percutaneous nephrolithotomy were investigated for the presence and location of foci of microcalcification. Calcium was found in 18 of 25 (72%) of biopsy specimens from stone formers and in only seven of 30 (23%) of control biopsy specimens. This may indicate defective intrarenal handling of calcium as plasma calcium concentration was norm...
متن کاملAutophagy by podocytes in renal biopsy specimens.
Autophagy, a process of bulk protein degradation and organelle turnover, is induced under starvation conditions in yeast and plays an important role in developmental processes and human diseases. Autophagy is a nonapoptotic form of programmed cell death. Disturbances in autophagy and programmed cell death may lead to cancer and several degenerative diseases in humans. During the routine ultrast...
متن کاملImpact of specimen adequacy on the assessment of renal allograft biopsy specimens.
The Banff classification was introduced to achieve uniformity in the assessment of renal allograft biopsies. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of specimen adequacy on the Banff classification. All renal allograft biopsies obtained between July 2010 and June 2012 for suspicion of acute rejection were included. Pre-biopsy clinical data on suspected diagnosis and time from r...
متن کاملImmunohistological characterisation of amyloid deposits in renal biopsy specimens.
The amyloid deposits in 21 renal biopsy specimens were subjected to a detailed immunohistochemical analysis using a panel of antibodies against recognised constituents of tissue amyloid. This was a retrospective study of material originally submitted during the investigation of various renal abnormalities and studied by a routine protocol including histochemistry, electron microscopy, and immun...
