How this Presentation Works
• Clinical context
• Modalities used
• Normal features
• Primer on glomerular disease patterns
• Examples of glomerular disease
• Assessment of biopsy adequacy
• Assessment of disease severity (grade)
• Assessment of disease chronicity (stage)

Considerations
• Clinical – Acute renal failure
– Chronic renal failure
– Nephrotic syndrome
– Nephritic syndrome
– Haematuria/proteinuria
– Microscopic haematuria
• Pre renal
• Post renal
• Renal – Vascular
– Tubulointerstitial
– Glomerular • Primary
• Immune complex
• Non immune complex
• Other
– Systemic

Example 2
• Initially normal light microscopy
• Foot process effacement on EM
• Minimal change disease?
• But steroid resistant
• Further sections taken show segmental
sclerosis in one glomerulus
• Diagnosis: Focal segmental
glomerulosclerosis

Focal Disease: Focal Segmental
Glomerulosclerosis
• How many glomeruli
will be needed?
– 10?
– 20?
– More?
• Distribution is relevant
– Affected glomeruli are
at the corticomedullary
junction

Specimen Adequacy
• What is adequate
• Depends on the disease present
– Focal or diffuse

Glomerular Disease
• Diffuse
– >50% of glomeruli involved
• Focal
– <50% of glomeruli involved
• Global
– The whole glomerulus is involved
• Segmental
– Only part of the glomerulus (one or more segments) is involved

Sample Adequacy
• In general
• 10 glomeruli considered adequate
• 7 borderline
• Vessels need to be represented
• Important role of tubulointerstitium

Sample Adequacy
• 1. Will have an effect on
the likelihood on making
the diagnosis in focal
pathologies
– Eg FSGS
– Vasculitis
• 2. Will have an effect on
assessing the severity
(grade) of a pathology
– Eg. Number of crescents in
glomerulonephritis

Sample Adequacy
• We need enough to:
– Diagnose the condition
– Estimate the severity
of the condition
• Cf percentage of
glomeruli with crescents
• But also:
– To assess the level of
chronic damage

Examples 7 and 8 – acute and
chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis
• Defined by the presence or absence of fibrosis
• We need enough tissue to estimate the level of
fibrosis and tubular atrophy

Chronic Renal Disease
• All renal disease will progress to interstitial
fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA)
• In all renal disease the strongest predictor
of prognosis is the level of IFTA
• We need enough tissue to estimate the
level of fibrosis and tubular atrophy
• Pathologists are not very good at
estimating the level of IFTA

Chronic Renal Disease
• Final outcome – end stage kidney disease (ESKD)
• May be impossible to determine the original pathology
• Sometimes we can suggest diagnosis or whether glomerular, TI or vascular in origin
• Very little effect on current treatment
• The importance is for transplantation

Assessment of Renal Disease in
the Human • Assessment is multimodal
• Clinical setting highly important
• Knowledge of renal medicine is essential
• Consider wide variety of diseases
• Often several pathologies present in one biopsy (patient)
• These may be of differential importance – eg pauciimmune glomerulonephritis with incidental
IgA nephropathy
• And may interact with one another – eg IgA nephropathy, diabetes and hypertension

Summary – Assessment of Renal
Disease in the Human
• Adequate sample needed
– To make the diagnosis
– To assess the severity of the pathology (grade)
– To assess the stage of the disease
• Clinicopathological correlation is paramount!
