A not so uncommon finding (but not frequently discussed) in a kidney bx: tubulovenous fistula/herniation. Communication between a ruptured tubule & vein with intravasuclar Tamm-Horsfall protein + thrombus. Can result in massive hematuria without a GN. #renalpath#PathTwitter
Chunky lupus vasculopathy. Massive luminal immune complexes in arteriolar lumens. Showed full house IF staining (IgG pictured). Superimposed acute TMA as well. Class IV LN in gloms. #renalpath#pathtwitter
Native kidney bx. EM shows interesting structures in a few distal tubular cells. Membranes appear to be encircling mitochondria. The resultant structures (? autophagosomes) have a double membrane and are packed with filaments. Is this mitophagy in action? #mitophagy#autophagy
Arkansas scientist Billy Hudson created a “magic” school bus with internet and computers where students could learn.
Now, more than a decade later, Hudson and his wife have taken the program to Vanderbilt University.
@rehemaellis shares their story.
Amyloid proximal tubulopathy can't get any better.
Extremely rare entity, in this case associated with amyloid casts. Lambda light chains #renalpath#nephrology#nephropath
1st dialyzed patient at Yeabe at King Menelik II Hospital happily willing to share a pic with me to acknowledge this tremendous milestone: 1st modern, 30 chair dialysis unit in Ethiopia. Thanks to Tigist Demise and her tremendous team! @farhaddanesh123 @NephroMD @Srmanday
@kidneydetective@Renalpathsoc@IUMedSchool maybe it's a pathologic condition, like this arteriole in the glomerulus. continue sections will provide more information.
Very pleased- this is a niche and specific antigen.
