How does kidney histology assist in diagnosing renal diseases?
Histological examination of kidney biopsies can identify pathological changes such as:
- Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of the glomeruli, detectable by immune complex deposits and cellular proliferation. - Tubular Necrosis: Damage to the tubules, presenting as cell death and tubular dilation. - Interstitial Nephritis: Inflammation of the interstitial tissue, indicated by inflammatory cell infiltration.
