The Renal Pathology Laboratory at The Ohio State University, with the leadership of Dr. Anjali Satoskar, provides exceptional, personalized customer service with a fast (one-day) turnaround time, same-day result option, and 24/7 biopsy processing and reading. Our main goal is optimal patient care using cutting edge technologies and detailed clinicopathologic correlations during the workup of every renal biopsy.
Routine light, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy, as well as immunohistochemical stains for Alport syndrome,
phospholipase A2 receptor, IgG subclasses, C4d, and other specialized tests.
Native and transplant renal biopsies.
Light, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy images from the biopsy specimen with annotations and comments. This service is invaluable for Grand Rounds, teaching and for explaining diagnoses to patients.
Ohio institutions can schedule in-person renal biopsy conferences with Dr. Satoskar.
Out of state institutions can schedule videoconferences.
The videoconferences use virtual slide microscopy to browse through the entire biopsy tissue section in real-time
with faculty commenting.
