Recent bxs are so important for clinical trial enrolment. Bx in pt with hx of lupus nephritis (IV+V) with worsening proteinuria. Bx for trial enrollment. Chronic changes only, 0 activity, resorbed deposits by EM, min IF staining.

Bx in older F pt for subnephrotic proteinuria reveals numerous myelin figures in podocytes. Concern for Fabry + other genetic diseases. Subsequently learned the pt was on long term to Plaquenil. Genetics pending, but may all be HCQ tox.

Somewhat subtle case of light chain cast nephropathy by LM. Mostly fine granular casts. Rare PAS pale + two toned color casts. No cellular reaction. IF with K restricted casts confirmatory. EM demonstrates LC precipitation with uromodulin.

Interesting case of necrotizing vasculitis in a lupus patient. Hx of LN in prior biopsies, no active GN features now. May be lupus vasculitis, but recommend r/o superimposed vasculitic disease (e.g., ANCA, drugs) with such biopsies findings.

Another example of how IgAN is not a benign disease. Middle age pt with CKD, hematuria, proteinuria. Strong mesangial IgA staining and deposits by EM. Unfortunately extensive IFTA at diagnosis. Can we catch these pts earlier?

Some smudgy mesangial IgG staining indicating a surprise fibrillary GN superimposed on advanced diabetic nephropathy. EM was confirmatory (~14 nm fibrils in some mesangial areas) as was the DNAJB9 stain. Value of biopsy in diabetic pts.

Illustrative example of a segmental membranous nephropathy pattern (segmental granular IgG staining) which is often seen with NELL-1+ (IHC) MN as in this case. Deposits present in only some loops by EM.

NELL-1 IHC can also be tricky to interpret as there is significant podocyte cytoplasmic staining in the negative control. Must show granular capillary wall deposits which match deposits by IF and EM.

One of the more subtle cases of amyloidosis I have seen. Few spicules on silver stain. Minimal congo red positivity. Despite early amyloid deposition, pt had nephrotic syndrome. Likely AL type (pt has LPL); MS pending.

Bx for progressive CKD in a pt with CML, in remission. Limited biopsy with prominent debris filled proximal tubule lysosomes + for lysozyme (no evidence for light chain restriction (F/P) or chromogranin). Suspicious for lysozyme nephropathy.
