WCN25-1057 Implementation of Immunohistochemistry for Renal Biopsies at the Pathology and Cytology Laboratory of Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar: A Study of 117 Cases

Renal biopsies are essential for diagnosing kidney diseases, particularly for evaluating immunoglobulin and complement deposits. Immunofluorescence (IF) is the preferred method for this evaluation; however, its unavailability in Senegal has led to the adoption of immunohistochemistry (IHC) at the Pathology and Cytology Laboratory of Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar. This study describes the epidemiological profile, morphological characteristics, and the contribution of IHC to the diagnosis of renal biopsies.
