No visible basement membrane changes; foot process No visible basement membrane changes; sclerosis of scattered juxtamedullaryglomeurli.; lipid accumulation in renal tubular cells. fused epithelialsegmental Basement membrane markedly thickened by intramembranous and epimembranous (subepithelial) immune complex deposits; granular immunofluorescence, "spike and dome" appearance. Basement membrane markedly thickened; diffuse or nodular mesangial membrane-like material. Amyloid protein identified by special stains (e.g. Red microscopy "criss-cross" fibrillary pattern.) with birefringence under polarized light, or electron accumulations of basement Congo B] Disorders manifest by the nephritic syndrome^ Immune complex deposition in subendothelial location^ may manifest as membranous glomerulonephritis. Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis rapidly progressive (crescentic) glomerulonephritis Goodpasture syndrome Alport syndrome
Subepithelial electron-dense "humps"; lumpy-bumpy" immunofluorescence, crescents formation, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) - negative forms with immune complexes or antiglomerular basement membrane antibodies; ANCA-positive (pauci-immune) form with Wegener granulomatosis. Linear immunofluorescence antibody deposition caused by antiglomerular basement membrane antibodies. Split basement membrane due to hereditary nephritis. C] Other glomerular disorders IgA nephropathy (Berger disease) Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis Mesangial IgA deposits. Tram-track appearance; deposits of C3 and dense deposits in one variant.
