With the founders having opened the doors in 2001 as Nephropathology Associates, the firm now dba Arkana Laboratories, founded by an academic renal pathologist who began reading renal biopsies. For the next 23 years he is reported as working in university settings where he read biopsies, did research, and taught. Following his desire to focus exclusively on kidney disease, he opened Nephropath and surrounded himself with physicians and staff who shared his vision to improve patient care by advancing understanding of disease and providing world-class diagnostics. Curiosity, innovations, and growing team of physicians have contributed to a constantly expanding practice such that the firm now provides renal pathology, neuropathology, ENFD testing, and biopharma services to thousands of patients across the country. In 2016, the firm was reebranded as Arkana Laboratories, a highly specialized laboratory focused in the area of neuromuscular disease and kidney diagnostics.
