What is the best way to measure renal fibrosis?: A pathologist's perspective.
Kidney International Supplements 2014 November
Interstitial fibrosis is a hallmark structural correlate of progressive and chronic kidney disease. There remain many uncertainties about how to best measure interstitial fibrosis both in research settings and in evaluations of renal biopsies performed for management of individual patients. Areas of uncertainty include determination of the composition of the matrix in a fibrotic parenchyma, the definition of how the interstitium is involved by fibrosing injuries, the choice of histologic stains for evaluation of renal fibrosis, and the reproducibility and robustness of measures currently employed by pathologists, both with and without the assistance of computerized imaging and assessments. In this review, we address some of these issues while citing the key studies that illustrate these difficulties. We point to future approaches that may allow a more accurate and meaningful assessment of renal interstitial fibrosis.
