Renal Tumours: Classification, Pathogenesis, Clinical Features and Investigations with Reference Ranges

A pathology teaching deck that defines and classifies renal tumours by behaviour and tissue of origin, then separates renal cell carcinoma, Wilms tumour and urothelial carcinoma through their aetiology, pathogenesis and pathophysiology, clinical features and complications including painless haematuria. Investigations are listed with their normal reference ranges and how to interpret them against local laboratory protocols.

It classifies them by their content - detached thrombi, atheromatous material, tumour cell clumps, tissue fragments, parasites and bacterial clumps - and takes the pathways of embolism through the venous, arterial and cross-over routes, the organs affected and the infarcts they produce, then the specific types: fat embolism from fracture of the long bones, soft tissue trauma and burns with its syndrome of pulmonary insufficiency, neurologic symptoms, anaemia and thrombocytopenia, and amniotic fluid embolism as an uncommon but highly fatal complication of labour.
