Test Details:
HISTOPATHOLOGY DIRECT IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE (DIF) KIDNEY BIOPSY Test is a diagnostic procedure used to examine kidney tissue for the presence of specific immune deposits. It involves taking a small sample of kidney tissue through a biopsy and examining it under a microscope. During the test, the kidney biopsy sample is treated with fluorescent antibodies that bind to specific proteins or antibodies associated with various kidney diseases. These fluorescent antibodies emit light when exposed to specific wavelengths of light, allowing the pathologist to identify and locate the immune deposits within the kidney tissue.
The DIF test is particularly useful in diagnosing immune-mediated kidney diseases such as lupus nephritis, anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease, and immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis. It helps differentiate between different types of kidney diseases and guides treatment decisions.
The test is usually performed under local anesthesia, and the biopsy sample is obtained using a needle inserted through the skin into the kidney. The sample is then processed and stained with fluorescent antibodies in the laboratory. The pathologist examines the stained sample under a fluorescence microscope to identify and analyze the immune deposits.
The DIF test provides valuable information about the underlying cause and extent of kidney damage, which can guide treatment decisions and prognosis. It is often performed in conjunction with other tests, such as histopathology and electron microscopy, to provide a comprehensive evaluation of kidney disease.
Overall, the HISTOPATHOLOGY DIRECT IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE (DIF) KIDNEY BIOPSY Test is an important diagnostic tool in the evaluation and management of kidney diseases, providing valuable insights into the underlying immune processes involved.
