We're a center for renal & neuromuscular pathology focused on one thing: improving care for patients. #renal #pathsky #renalpath #neuropath #neuromuscular #kidneypath
What is your diagnosis for this finding in a young patient with renal artery stenosis?

1/ This biopsy shows the characteristic features of uric acid nephropathy (commonly known as gout), which results from precipitation of uric acid in the kidney parenchyma.

This image is from a biopsy of a young female who presented with proteinuria during pregnancy. Routine immunofluorescence was negative. What is this stain and what is your diagnosis?

This EM image shows powdery, punctate electron-dense deposits along the tubular basement membranes, characteristic of LCDD. These deposits lack the organized fibrillar structure seen in amyloidosis & appear as non-organized granular material.

1/ What does acute tubular injury (ATI) look like in a kidney biopsy? For comparison, Fig. 1 shows a biopsy with a normal appearing tubulointerstitium. The tubules show a back-to-back configuration, and the proximal tubular PAS-positive brush borders are easily identified.

(1/3) This 40-year-old patient underwent sural nerve biopsy to evaluate for a painful mixed large fiber and small fiber axonal neuropathy. The biopsy showed light microscopic features of a chronic active axonopathic process.

Dr. Parikh discusses great techniques and practices that can be implemented practically. Would love to hear similar experiences from other centers
@nephrosharma.bsky.social and @glombandit.bsky.social
sat down with Dr. Salil Parikh, a radiologist who helped his facility improve their adequacy rates significantly, to discuss one possible blueprint for better renal biopsies. #nephsky #radiology
