Test Details
The HISTOPATHOLOGY KIDNEY BIOPSY PANEL 1 test is a diagnostic test that examines a kidney biopsy sample to assess the presence of various histopathological abnormalities. It helps in the diagnosis and management of kidney diseases. This panel typically includes several tests, such as:
- Hematoxylin and eosin staining (H&E): This staining technique is used to visualize the general architecture and cellular details of the kidney tissue. It helps identify any structural abnormalities, inflammation, fibrosis, or abnormal cell growth.
- Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining: PAS staining is used to detect the presence of abnormal deposits of sugars or other substances in the kidney tissue. It can help identify conditions like diabetic nephropathy or other glomerular diseases.
- Immunofluorescence staining: This test uses specific antibodies labeled with fluorescent dyes to detect the presence of immune complexes, antibodies, or complement proteins in the kidney tissue. It helps diagnose immune-mediated kidney diseases like lupus nephritis or glomerulonephritis.
- Electron microscopy: This technique provides high-resolution images of the kidney tissue at the ultrastructural level. It helps identify abnormalities in the glomerular basement membrane, podocytes, or other cellular structures. Electron microscopy is particularly useful in diagnosing certain kidney diseases like Alport syndrome or thin basement membrane disease.
The HISTOPATHOLOGY KIDNEY BIOPSY PANEL 1 test is performed by a pathologist who examines the kidney biopsy sample under a microscope and interprets the results. The findings from this test help guide treatment decisions and provide valuable information about the underlying cause and severity of kidney disease.
