The biopsy report for nonneoplastic kidney diseases represents a complex integration of clinical data with light, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopic findings. Practice guidelines for the handling and processing of the renal biopsy have previously been created. However, specific guidelines for essential pathologic parameters that should be included in these pathology reports do not exist. The Renal Pathology Society has coordinated an effort through the formation of an ad hoc committee to enumerate the essential elements and pathologic parameters that should be reported for every biopsy specimen. This endeavor aims to establish a minimum reporting standard and to improve communication between pathologists and other physicians. This document represents the collective effort and consensus opinions of this ad hoc committee of the Renal Pathology Society.
非肿瘤性肾脏疾病的活检报告代表了临床数据与光镜、免疫荧光和电子显微镜检查结果的复杂综合。之前已经制定了肾脏活检的处理和操作实践指南。然而，对于这些病理报告中应包含的基本病理参数，尚无具体指南。肾脏病理学会通过成立一个特别委员会来协调努力，列举每个活检标本应报告的基本要素和病理参数。这项工作旨在建立一个最低报告标准，并促进病理学家和其他医生之间的沟通。本文档代表了肾脏病理学会特别委员会的集体努力和共识意见。
