Overview
Kidney biopsy can represent amyloid deposition as vascular, tubulo-interstitial and/or glomerular deposits. All types of amyloidogenic proteins show affinity for Congo red dye.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Kidney biopsy
- Kidney biopsy can represent amyloid deposition as vascular, tubulo-interstitial and/or glomerular deposits.[1]
- In evaluation of kidney biopsy specimens, types of amyloidogenic proteins can be discovered.[2]
Congo red staining
- All types of amyloidogenic proteins show affinity for Congo red dye, which demonstrates as:[3]
- Orange-red appearance by normal light microscopy
- Apple-green birefringence upon polarized light
