Pt with SLE and sjogren with hematuria and proteinuria. +++RF, low C3/C4, IgM-k MGUS. Biopsy revealed IgM-k dominant GN with cryo plugs + vasculitis + abundant pure microtubular deposits c/w cryoGN. Some deposits being engulfed by macrophages. #renalpath#pathtwitter#nephrology
Not every “cancer” is cancer.
IgG4-related disease can present as a hard mass in the salivary gland, pancreas, orbit, kidney, lung, and many other organs—often mimicking malignancy on imaging and clinically.
Before calling it a tumor: sometimes the immune system is the culprit.
Acute phlebitis in an interlobular vein. Although commonly seen in acute cellular rejection, the lesion itself is not diagnostic for rejection per Banff classification.

Crescentic GN was rarely reported in amyloidosis. It's still unclear in this pt that the crescents were due to glomerular amyloid deposits or COVID-associated immune response.

Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) with concurrent primary podocytopathy represents a distinct clinical entity characterized by nephrotic-range proteinuria, ultrastructural podocyte effacement and favorable response to immunosuppressive therapy ca. 2026 from @NDTsocial#Nephpearls#ECNeph
Early renal biopsy incorporating Foot Process Width (FPW) assessment enables targeted therapy to mitigate ESKD progression in this high-risk phenotype.

#renalpath young F, NS, normal SCr. The material filling the microaneurysms with double contours was seen in glomeruli. Did not receive any anti-VEGF therapy. Gene test showed MMACHC mutation.
Multinucleated giant cells in glomeruli of 56 yo man with MPO positive crescentic GN. Usually more frequent in anti-GBM, these cells can also be seen in ANCA GN. Necrotizing arteritis noted in interlobular artery
