The laboratory hosts a popular weekly in-house renal biopsy conference as well as many regional conferences at referring centers in the tristate area. The course is the longest-running CME course at CUIMC and is attended annually by approximately 300 registrants from throughout the U.S.
#PATHOLOGY LABORATORY UPDATE#
The course, which is given jointly with the Division of Nephrology, provides a comprehensive review and update of major diagnostic entities in nephropathology, with emphasis on clinical correlations and pathogenesis. The Renal Pathology Laboratory runs an annual postgraduate CME course entitled "The Columbia Renal Biopsy Course", which will be in its 46th year in 2023 and takes place every summer at CUIMC. The laboratory has hosted international consensus conferences on classifications of lupus nephritis and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Faculty members participate in NIH-sponsored translational and basic research into the major glomerular causes of nephrosis, diabetic nephropathy, and HIV-associated kidney diseases, among others. Major areas of research include pathomechanisms of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, lupus nephritis, C3 glomerulopathy, and drug toxicities. In addition to diagnostic renal pathology, the laboratory is actively involved in a number of clinical-pathologic and translational research studies. The laboratory is staffed by seven full-time renal pathologists, with 12 dedicated laboratory technologists providing highly skilled technical support. The routine biopsy service always includes a phone discussion with the referring nephrologist to convey detailed information about clinical correlations, prognostic features, and treatment options. The laboratory is considered a national center of excellence for renal biopsy interpretation and is frequently requested to consult on difficult cases from outside centers. Genetic analysis is available upon request through referral to the Glomerular Center of Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC). Tissue studies for disease biomarkers are performed in selected cases. Renal biopsies are evaluated routinely by the three modalities of light microscopy, immunofluorescence microscopy, and electron microscopy. If Vermont isn't your first choice, I recommend it because it was a truly incredible experience.The laboratory, one of the largest in the country, processes approximately 5,000 renal biopsies per year (including native and allograft biopsies) from 13 states. Only having to pass made it a lot easier to travel and experience college life. Burlington is very picturesque and laidback.
It was extremely rewarding meeting so many new people who will be friends for life. "Words can't explain how amazing exchange was. Located in Burlington, Vermont, UVM's setting on the shores of Lake Champlain, between the Adirondack and the Green mountain ranges, gives a perspective of all that's possible. The university is home to 10,267 undergraduates and 1462 graduate students. Its academic program combines faculty-student relationships most commonly found in a small liberal arts college with the resources of a major research institution. UVM thinks big and inspires others to do the same.
