..., the predictive value of tryptase-positive mast cells in IgAN progression was analyzed. Results: Tryptase-positive mast cells were found frequently in IgAN kidneys while rarely observed in normal kidneys. We also found IgAN patients in Tryptase high group presented both severe clinical and pathological renal...

... Hildebrandt; Peter J. Conlon Background: Renal biopsy is the mainstay of renal pathological diagnosis. Despite sophisticated diagnostic techniques, it is not always possible to make a precise pathological diagnosis. Our aim was to identify a genetic cause of disease in patients who had undergone renal biopsy...

... between diabetic nephropathy (DN) and renal outcome being increasingly clear, we aimed at creating a new DN pathological scoring system that could predict the renal outcome. Methods: We studied 205 patients with DN confirmed by renal biopsy, sometime between March 1985 and January 2010, who met...

... specimens using biopsy needles of different sizes. Morphologic parameters were analyzed. Results: We found that biopsies performed by small needles (gauges 20 and 22) contain significantly lower numbers of glomeruli and blood vessels, which limits pathologic evaluation. Data from our institution do not show...
