Introduction
This video demonstrates the tissue triaging procedure for renal needle core biopsies that are delivered in a fresh state to the laboratory. The procedures demonstrated are: Specimen Identification (Universal Procedures as well as Procedures unique to Weill Cornell Medicine’s Renal Pathology Electron Microscopy Laboratory), Station Preparation and materials used, Initial Observation, Gross Tissue Examination, and Specimen Division for routine histology, Immunoflourescence, and Electron Microscopy. Proper division of the specimen for these modalities ensures adequate tissue in each of them, particularly, in the setting of a glomerular disease.
