Clinicopathological Implications of Proteinuria after Long-Term Isolated Hematuria due to Thin Basement Membrane Nephropathy and Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis

Figure 2

Electron micrograph of a glomerulus. Glomerular basement membranes are diffusely thinned without lamellation or reticular formation. Overlying podocytes are fairly preserved with focal foot process effacement. There are no electron dense deposits within glomerular capillary walls and a mesangial region. A red blood cell is seen in Bowman’s space. Bar =10.0 m. Inset; Peripheral glomerular capillary wall. Bar =1.0 m.
