10. Glomeruli are large definitely normal or definitely abnormal. This particularly applies to determination of whether there is an increase in the amount of mesangium. Definitions of normal mesangium are usually based on the number of cells per mesangial area, often said to be no more than three in sections 2–3-μm thick, and the amount of mesangial matrix, assessed subjectively. Assessment of segmental disorders is helped by serial sections. Although the position of segmental changes in glomeruli does not seem important in some conditions, such as vasculitis, in other conditions it is of major importance, such as in conditions with the nephrotic syndrome.
9). When the glomerulus has been ischemic for a long time, Bowman’s capsule often appears thicker than normal and is wrinkled with new layers of material on its inner side (Fig. 2). This is sometimes called periglomerular fibrosis. On sections stained by hematoxylin and eosin, ischemic glomeruli appear solid and hypercellular, with thickened basement membranes. Periodic acid-methenamine silver staining shows that the apparent hypercellularity is explained by shrinkage of the tuft, and basement membrane thickening is explained by wrinkling of membranes that are no longer distended by the pressure of blood within them (Fig.
2 Cortex in a renal biopsy specimen from a man of 44 with chronic renal failure, and clinical evidence of hydronephrosis caused by retroperitoneal fibrosis. There are patches of atrophic tubules, and in these areas interstitial tissues are expanded. Surviving tubules are larger than normal. Glomeruli have extra layers of thickening on the inside of Bowman’s capsule tissue between tubules. This is called thyroidisation, because it has a resemblance to thyroid follicles (Fig. 3). Any solid material in the lumen of tubules can be called a cast, and this may contain cells.
