Figure 1
Figure 1
Intralobular arteries have narrowed lumina due to marked intimal expansion; with edema, mucoid changes, myointimal hyperplasia and sclerosis. The glomerulus shows segmental mesangiolysis with coalescence of some capillary loops. Profiles of dilated tubular lumina contain fragmented erythrocytes. The interstitium appears widened by edema, and there are areas of sclerosis and inflammation (Masson trichrome stain)
Figure 2
Figure 2
Laminations in the fibrotic intima give the intralobular artery an “onion skin” pattern. The glomerulus on the left has prominent segmental mesangiolysis with formation of capillary microaneurysms. Degenerating red blood cell casts are present in some tubules. There are interstitial fibrosis and mild focal interstitial infiltration of mononuclear leukocytes (Masson trichrome stain)
