Figure 1. Renal biopsy findings. (A) Glomerular basement membranes appeared uniformly thickened without spikes (stained by periodic methenamine silver, original magnification ×400). (B) Tiny fuchsinophilic grains deposits along the outer aspect of the glomerular basement membranes (stained with Masson’s trichrome, original magnification ×400). (C) Immunoglobulin G subclasses IgG1 deposited along the glomerular capillary wall (stained immunohistochemically, original magnification ×400). (D) Immunoglobulin G subclasses IgG3 deposited along the glomerular capillary wall (stained immunohistochemically, original magnification ×400). (E) Effacement and fusion of epithelial cell foot processes (electron microscopy; original magnification ×8000). (F) Presence of subepithelial immune complex deposits (electron microscopy; original magnification ×10,000).
