Reduced Endothelial Factor VIII Staining in Renal Microcirculation Correlates with Hemodynamic Alteration in Nephrosis

Figures & data

Figure 1. Immunohistochemical staining for endothelial factor VIII of peritubular capillary in MesP-NS demonstrates a rather normal staining.

Figure 2. Immunohistochemical staining for endothelial factor VIII of peritubular capillary in FSGS demonstrates a diminished staining.
