FFPE 肾组织切片的 PAS 染色流程，按源方案 FFPE 分支执行脱蜡、复水、氧化、Schiff 显色、苏木素复染、脱水透明和封片。具体切片厚度、视野与定量方法按研究设计确定。

肾小球基底膜、系膜基质和糖蛋白呈 PAS 阳性（品红/紫红色），细胞核呈蓝色；按研究设计进行肾小球系膜扩张或病变范围判读。

输出为每样品尿白蛋白浓度（mg/l），按标准曲线插值报告；该读数本身不是白蛋白/肌酐比值，换算比值需另测尿肌酐。

Start with FFPE here: Allow PAS “kit” to come to room temperature on the bench. Start with FFPE here: For paraffin sections, deparaffinize in xylene, two changes, 00:03:00 each. Start with FFPE here: Hydrate through graded alcohols, 00:01:00 each: 100%, 100%, 95%, 70%, water Start with FFPE here: Rinse well in distilled water by holding finger over slides, pouring water into sink and adding water. Do this 5 times. Start Frozen samples here: Place in 0.5% Periodic acid for 00:10:00 (to oxidize). Start Frozen samples here: Rinse well in distilled water (follow Step 4). Start Frozen samples here: Pour Schiff’s reagent into Coplin jar containing slides. Allow to sit 15-30 minutes at room temperature (kidney samples ~30 minutes). Start Frozen samples here: Rinse in running warm (~40 °C) distilled or tap water (follow Step 4). The tissue should appear pink after rinsing with warm water. Start Frozen samples here: Place slides in movable gray slide holder. Start Frozen samples here: Counterstain in Hematoxylin (staining line) for 00:01:00. Start Frozen samples here: Rinse well in distilled water, starting with blue container next to hematoxylin (follow Step 4). Start Frozen samples here: Quickly dip slides into “Bluing” agent (0.5% ammonium hydroxide). Start Frozen samples here: Rinse 1 minute in distilled water until pink color is visible (follow Step 4). Start Frozen samples here: Dehydrate through graded alcohols, 10 short dips in each: 95%, 95%, 100%, 100% If the last 100% ethanol rinse is colored by residual stain, additional washing in new 100% ethanol solution should be performed. Start Frozen samples here: Fix in 2 rounds of xylenes, 00:01:00 each (in the hood). Start Frozen samples here: Coverslip slides: - Place coverslip on paper towel - Add 2-3 drops of cytoseal to edge (depending on size) - Dip slide into xylenes, take out and roll the xylene lengthwise on slide - Line up slide and cover slip and slowly place the slide on the coverslip - If needed, use dissecting tool to remove bubbles Start Frozen samples here: Image slides using a Leica brightfield scanner, AxioScan Z1 slide scanner (or equivalent) at 20x (~1 µm spatial resolution) and save as.tiff or.jpg file.
