Description

Nephrotic syndrome This is a high power view of a glomerulus in a section of kidney from a child with Plasmodium malariae malaria. The glomerulus is focally sclerosed (towards the top). The dense black stain shows where the mesangium has heavy depositions of immune-complexes with sclerosis. The capillary loops in the lower part of the glomerulus are normal. Hexamine silver stain.
