Only Skin Deep: Telepathology & Kidney Recovery
Presented on: Tuesday, March 07, 2023
Telepathology helps Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) and Transplant Centers effectively evaluate kidney biopsies to identify the best recipient match for the donor organ. However, due to lack of reliable access to experienced pathologists, there are often inconsistencies in diagnostics shared. Over the course of this discussion, we will discuss the pitfalls of kidney biopsies, the benefits to standardized biopsy criteria, and the utilization of telepathology to expedite kidney placement.
- Discuss the current pitfalls of kidney biopsies.
- Identify the benefits of standardized biopsy criteria.
- Demonstrate an understanding of the importance of transplant pathology expertise when reading renal biopsies.
Members of the donation and transplantation community serving diverse populations to include administrators, coordinators, physicians, nurses, surgeons, managers, quality improvement specialists, social workers, and other donation and transplantation center professionals and their colleagues.
