Aiding in the diagnosis of collagenofibrotic glomerulopathy

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

Collagenofibrotic glomerulopathy (CG), also called collagen type III glomerulopathy, is a rare kidney disease characterized by large amounts of atypical type III collagen fibrils in the mesangium and subendothelial space of renal glomeruli. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry performed on microdissected glomeruli from patients with CG demonstrates a unique proteomic profile. The presence of type III collagen, in the appropriate clinical and pathological context, can be useful to establish a diagnosis of CG.

Reference Values

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

Affected areas are removed from paraffin-embedded tissues by laser microdissection. Protein digestion is performed, followed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.(Unpublished Mayo method)

PDF Report
Indicates whether the report includes an additional document with charts, images or other enriched information

No

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.

Monday through Friday

Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.

7 to 15 days

Specimen Retention Time
Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded

Until reported

Performing Laboratory Location
Indicates the location of the laboratory that performs the test

Rochester
