Renal Surgical Pathology

Our most recent specimen: the kidney. We have learned the anatomy, histology, physiology, pathology, and now the grossing of the kidney. Opening and examining the kidney in surgical pathology lab allowed us to visualize everything we learned in previous classes and put all of our knowledge together. Learning how the kidney works in the body can help us determine the best sections to take for the pathologist.

Luckily one of our kidneys was pathologic so we were able to practice opening an abnormal kidney as well. What is your gross diagnosis?
