Renal pathology deals with the characterization of medical diseases (non-tumors) and the diagnosis of kidneys. Renal pathologists work along with nephrologists and kidney transplant surgeons who specialized in the diagnosis of medical diseases of the kidneys. The pathologist interprets the biopsy tissue in the clinical context, synthesizes findings from microscopy, electron microscopy, and finds out the diagnosis. Medical renal diseases may affect the tubules and interstitium, the glomerulus, the vessels, or a combination of these departments.
