Figure 2. Large cellular crescents occupy all glomeruli in this biopsy. Focal fibrinoid necrosis (■) and disruption of Bowman capsule (▲) are associated with interstitial inflammation (2A, HE, 200x). The glomerular basement membrane is commonly fragmented in glomeruli with crescents. This can be seen in the silver-stained section (2B, silver-stain, 200x).
