Early adoption of genomic surveillance + rigorous infection prevention can make the difference. Despite rising Candida auris cases nationwide, one health system has prevented outbreaks. Dr. Shaun Yang shares how his team approaches testing. #ClinMicro www.contagionlive.com/view/early-g...

Bx for pt with AKI and nephrotic range proteinuria. Hx of IV drug abuse (with skin popping), and chronic staph infections. AA amyloidosis was the unsurprising finding. #renalpath #pathsky #nephsky

Transplant bx for renal dysfunction in a patient with shortness of breath. Granulomatous tubulointerstitial nephritis. AFB stain +. Sputum + for TB. Good sample key for making the diagnosis. 2 rounds of AFB stain to find the organism. #renalpath #pathksy #nephsky

Autolysis versus ATN in an autopsy specimen. Autolytic tubules show detachment of epithelial cells from tubular BM and seem to fall off into the lumen (yellow circle). Rest of tubules with ATN: epithelial cells on the BM but thin + loss of brush borders. #renalpath #pathsky

Another chronic glomerulopathy case. EM stage IV of IV resorbed deposits in a pt with PLA2R+ Membranous nephropathy with persistent proteinuria. #renalpath #pathsky #nephsky

💫 We are thrilled to present Quality Improvement Day 2026 and the Daljit S. & Elaine Sarkaria Keynote Lecture. 🎙️This year’s theme, “Essential Value: Quality Improvement From the Laboratory to the Bedside” highlights vital connection between the lab and the patient experience.

Recent bxs are so important for clinical trial enrolment. Bx in pt with hx of lupus nephritis (IV+V) with worsening proteinuria. Bx for trial enrollment. Chronic changes only, 0 activity, resorbed deposits by EM, min IF staining. #nephsky #renalpath #Pathsky

Bx in older F pt for subnephrotic proteinuria reveals numerous myelin figures in podocytes. Concern for Fabry + other genetic diseases. Subsequently learned the pt was on long term to Plaquenil. Genetics pending, but may all be HCQ tox. #renalpath #pathsky #nephsky

Somewhat subtle case of light chain cast nephropathy by LM. Mostly fine granular casts. Rare PAS pale + two toned color casts. No cellular reaction. IF with K restricted casts confirmatory. EM demonstrates LC precipitation with uromodulin. #renalpath #nephsky #pathsky

Interesting case of necrotizing vasculitis in a lupus patient. Hx of LN in prior biopsies, no active GN features now. May be lupus vasculitis, but recommend r/o superimposed vasculitic disease (e.g., ANCA, drugs) with such biopsies findings. #renalpath #nephsky #pathsky

Tumor nephrectomy with incidental ALECT2. Interestingly this was from a pt from India. Reminder that a subset of ALECT2 cases have been reported in Punjabi patients (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35986199/) . #renalpath #pathsky #nephsky
