#TeachingPoints There is a histopathologic spectrum to the casts that can be seen in light chain cast nephropathy. A portion of this spectrum is shown in these photomicrographs of renal biopsies stained with PAS. All three of these cases had casts with light chain restriction by…

#TeachingPoints Patients with warfarin-related nephropathy present with an acute rise in serum Cr after becoming supratherapeutic on warfarin therapy (INR>3). The renal biopsy findings of warfarin nephropathy include acute tubular injury, occlusive RBC casts in tubular lumens,…

#TeachingPoints A 54-year-old man with a history of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia presented with complaints of generalized “muscle stiffness” and cola-colored urine. He was found to have markedly elevated serum creatinine and creatine kinase levels. A renal biopsy…

#TeachingPoints The silver impregnation stain is a key method of identifying basement membranes in human tissue, and its application in renal pathology is nearly universal. Notice in this image (Fig 1) how clearly demonstrating the capillary basement membrane using the silver…

#TeachingPoints A renal biopsy was performed on this 78 year old male with history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (IgG kappa). The serum creatinine at presentation was 3.2 mg/dl and UPCR was 1.8 g/g. The glomeruli…

#TeachingPoints The IgA nephropathy Oxford Classification was first published in 2009 by a working group of nephrologists and renal pathologists representing the Renal Pathology Society and International IgA Nephropathy Network. The lesions currently scored include mesangial…

#TeachingPoints A 75 year old woman presented for her annual checkup with no complaints. She had a past medical history of hypertension and her blood pressure at this visit was 160/80. Laboratory findings were significant for an elevated serum creatinine at 2.1 mg/dL (baseline…

#TeachingPoints A very common vascular histologic finding in patients with hypertensive nephrosclerosis is arteriosclerosis. In advanced lesions, such as this example, there is prominent intimal fibrosis with narrowing of the vessel lumen. The replacement of smooth muscle cells…

#TeachingPoints The patient is a 32 year-old African American female who presents with hypertensive urgency, positive ANA, positive anti-RNA polymerase III antibody, schistocytes on the peripheral smear, forgetfulness, and a creatinine of 2. On physical examination, the skin is…

#TeachingPoints The differential diagnosis of kidney injury in CLL/SLL patients. There are many causes of decreased kidney function in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), and a renal biopsy may provide a definitive diagnosis.…

#TeachingPoints Cortical microabscess formation is a clue to the presence of an infectious organism.  Various bacteria, viruses, fungi, and even parasites may cause similar appearing lesions.  This biopsy is taken from a renal transplant patient with acute kidney injury and…

#TeachingPoints The patient is a 75 year-old female who presents with proteinuria, a necrotic skin lesion on her lower extremity, and a creatinine of 5.5 mg/dL. Her serum complement levels (C3/C4) are low. Serologies for ANA, dsDNA, rheumatoid factor, c-ANCA, p-ANCA, anti-GBM,…

#TeachingPoints Tubulointerstitial nephritis with uveitis (TINU) was first described as a distinct entity by Dobrin, et al. in 1975. TINU primarily affects young females (medial age 15 years) who commonly have associated systemic signs and symptoms of the disease including weight…

#TeachingPoints The image shows two globally sclerotic glomeruli exhibiting the so-called “obsolescent” pattern of glomerular sclerosis. The two key histologic features in this pattern are the shrunken and retracted glomerular capillary tuft (arrowhead) and the fibrous matrix…

#TeachingPoints Chronic uric acid nephropathy results from deposition within the renal parenchyma of monosodium urate monohydrate. While the disease may occur in the setting of increased uric acid production, it is overwhelmingly more common in the setting of decreased uric acid…

#TeachingPoints IgG4-related disease is a systemic inflammatory and sclerosing disorder which may affect a wide range of different organs including the pancreas, salivary glands, lacrimal glands, lungs, blood vessels, lymph nodes, thyroid and kidneys among others. Patients may…

#TeachingPoints A wide variety of prescription and over the counter drugs may cause toxic injury to the renal tubular epithelium. Given the morphologic overlap of acute tubular injury secondary to different etiologic agents, determination of the offending drug is usually not…
