Another example of ribosome-lamella complexes within a podocyte from a case of transplant glomerulopathy. The significance of these structures is uncertain but possibly reflects aberrant protein sysnthesis within the cell.

Renal tx insertion bx. @electronmicroscopy shows a rare finding of ribosome-lamella complexes (arrows) in podocytes. Does anyone know if they are significant? I think it's a non-specific change reflecting cell stress. Not to be confused with crystals that can occur in podocytes.

Some off-beat and slightly rare cases among the routines.. Came in just 3 days to prove the versatility and non-monotonus nature of Kidney diseases!! Age-no bar. #KidneyBiopsy #RareRenal #Nephpath #RenalPathLabs #AskRenal #PathTwitter #NephTwitter #RenalPathology #PoojaMaheshwari

So, in summary Occam’s razor would have failed us here. This is in fact supportive of the philosophy of Saint and Hickam. Great reading here πŸ‘‡πŸΌ Occam's Razor versus Saint's Triad | New England Journal of Medicine nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

Now see the weak PAS positive material in glomeruli and interstitium. Congo red highlights the sneaky, deposits of amyloid- everywhere! Amyloid on mass spectrometry was ALECT-2 (Leucocyte chemotactic factor-2) type. Dx: DM, autoimmune and ALECT2 amyloid

Our latest publication presents two cases of long-term eculizumab treatment failure in C3 GN. It emphasizes important considerations in the current landscape of novel anti-complement therapies. Many thanks to @fervenzaf and @PepaSolerR for their unwavering mentorship and support

Kidney biopsy shows (A) Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining shows inflammation within and among tubules (on the left) and a well-preserved glomerulus (on the right). (B) Immunofluorescence (IF) microscopy shows linear staining of the tubular basement membranes for IgG without staining of the glomerulus (far right). (C) Electron microscopy (EM) of the glomerulus shows mild effacement of podocyte foot processes, normal thickness, without abnormal lamination or associated electron dense deposits. (D) EM of tubules shows moderate to marked atrophy with variable acute injury and thickened tubular basement membranes. πŸ”—Read the case hereπŸ‘‰πŸ» doi.org/10.1177/232470962412…

First piece since coming back from my travels. I've always been fascinated by transmission electron microscopy images and always imagined what they would look like in color so this is my TEM concept art of a cell. #pathology #cellbiology #art #pathx #artx #pathart #cellart #pathtwitter

Nice new paper on IF/deposits in IgA: kireports.org/article/S2468-… Deposits on IF and EM correlated with LM activity. Capillary IgA, C3, subendo deposits FPE associated with more proteinuria. Capillary C3 subendo deposits correlated with urinary sC5b9. #renalpath #nephrology
