Histopathology Kidney Biopsy Panel 3 Test
Comprehensive Kidney Disease Diagnosis
The Histopathology Kidney Biopsy Panel 3 Test represents the gold standard in renal pathology evaluation, providing an exhaustive analysis of kidney tissue to diagnose complex renal conditions. This sophisticated diagnostic panel integrates multiple advanced techniques to deliver unparalleled insights into kidney health and disease processes.
What This Test Measures and Detects
Our comprehensive kidney biopsy panel employs multiple diagnostic modalities to provide a complete assessment:
- Histopathology Analysis: Detailed microscopic examination of kidney tissue architecture and cellular changes
- Immunofluorescence Studies: Detection of immune complex deposits including IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, and C1q complement components
- Electron Microscopy: Ultra-structural evaluation for precise identification of deposits and cellular abnormalities
- Special Stains: Enhanced visualization of specific tissue components and pathological features
- Immunohistochemistry: Assessment of C4d complement deposition and SV40 viral antigens in transplant cases
- Digital Photomicrography: High-resolution imaging for documentation and consultation
Who Should Consider This Test
This comprehensive renal biopsy panel is recommended for patients presenting with:
- Unexplained kidney dysfunction or declining renal function
- Persistent proteinuria or nephrotic syndrome
- Hematuria of unknown origin
- Suspected glomerular diseases including glomerulonephritis
- Renal transplant recipients with graft dysfunction
- Systemic autoimmune diseases affecting the kidneys
- Evaluation of treatment response in known renal conditions
- Suspected renal involvement in systemic diseases
Key Benefits of Comprehensive Kidney Biopsy Testing
- Accurate Diagnosis: Provides definitive identification of specific renal pathologies
- Treatment Guidance: Informs targeted therapeutic strategies based on precise pathology
- Prognostic Information: Helps predict disease course and treatment response
- Multi-Modal Assessment: Combines light microscopy, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy for comprehensive evaluation
- Transplant Monitoring: Essential for detecting rejection and viral infections in transplant patients
- Early Detection: Identifies subtle pathological changes before significant clinical manifestations
