Histology analysis of renal biopsy specimens. (a) PAS stain of renal biopsy specimens with some neutrophils in the CG group. Red arrow: glomerular and renal interstitial fusion after rupture of basement membrane of Bauman’s sac; green arrow: inflammatory cell infiltration of renal interstitial tissue. (b) PAS stain of renal biopsy specimens in the COG group. (c) H&E stain of renal biopsy specimens with thickening of glomerular filtration membrane as the arrow showed in the CG group. Red arrow: glomerular capillary stenosis, occlusion; black arrow: glomerular basement membrane thickening. (d) H&E stain of renal biopsy specimens with normal glomerular filtration membrane in the COG group.
