Figures & data
Figure 1. Renal biopsy specimen with acute and chronic tubulointerstitial lesions. (1) shows an acute tubulointerstitial lesion, where a indicates tubular epithelial edema and b indicates tubular epithelial necrosis; (2) shows a chronic tubulointerstitial lesion, where c indicates interstitial fibrosis. (1) and (2) are both Periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining ×400.

Figure 2. The correlation between Ehrenreich–Chrug scores and tubulointerstitial lesion score. Scatter plot in Spearman correlation analysis shows the correlation between the Ehrenreich–Chrug score and interstitial lesion score.
