More Topics Containing This Multimedia

  • Fibrillary and Immunotactoid Glomerulopathies
  • Randomly arranged fibrils in mesangial and capillary loops are seen on transmission electron microscopy (left). Negative Congo red stains are necessary to exclude renal amyloidosis (×25,625). The right image shows a high-power view of fibrils, which are coarser in diameter than amyloid deposits (×98,000).
