The Oakstone Institute Specialty Review

Improve your ability to interpret renal biopsies and stay current with the latest advances in native and transplant pathophysiology. Ideal for MOC.

Improve Your Ability to Interpret Renal Biopsies

Renal Pathology – A Comprehensive Review provides an overview of native and transplant kidney pathology with an emphasis on recognizing patterns of renal injury, formulating diagnoses, and implementing modern classification schema for both native and transplant kidney disease. It will help you to better:

• Recognize and identify disease processes in all compartments of the kidney
• Interpret histologic findings in both the native and allograft kidney biopsy
• Diagnose and classify kidney disease according to histologic findings
• Apply accepted schema for classifying native and transplant kidney disease
• Recognize alloimmune injury in the kidney transplant
