Kidney Biopsy Demonstrating Membranous Nephropathy. A. Hematoxylin and eosin stain (original magnification x400): Normocellular glomerulus. B. Periodic acid-Schiff stain (original magnification x400): Image shows a glomerulus with slight mesangial prominence and irregular capillary wall thickening. There is no significant hypercellularity. C. Jones methenamine silver stain (original magnification x400): Holes and occasional spikes are visible along glomerular capillary basement membranes. D. IgG immunofluorescence (original magnification x400): IgG is positive in glomerular capillary walls in a granular pattern. E. Electron microscopy (original magnification x20,000): There are continuous subepithelial deposits along glomerular capillary walls, which are well-incorporated into basement membranes and separated or occasionally surrounded by projections of basement membrane material consistent with Churg and Ehrenreich ultrastructural stage II to III membranous nephropathy [8].
