	The patient is an 18 year old female with a BUN of 10, creatinine of 0.6, and urinary protein of 2 g/24 hr. Prior biopsy 3-4 years ago was interpreted as consistent with minimal change disease. Now steroid dependent. Rule out focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.		The patient is an 18 year old female with a BUN of 10, creatinine of 0.6, and urinary protein of 2 g/24 hr.

	Received in Zeus fixative are two cores measuring 9 x 1 and 7 x 2 mm in greatest dimensions. These are entirely submitted for immunofluorescence. Received in Carson's fixative are two cores measuring 9 and 7 mm in length and 1 mm in diameter. Two 1-mm pieces are taken for EM, and the remainder is submitted for light microscopy.

	The specimen consists of one small fragment of renal cortex and a larger fragment that is about half cortex and half medulla. There are 38 glomeruli in the original three levels. One of these at the corticomedullary junction is obsolete, but none of the glomeruli show segmental sclerosis. All of the glomeruli are similar and show no significant mesangial expansion or proliferation. The capillary basement membranes are unremarkable with the silver and PASH stains. There is no significant interstitial fibrosis or tubular atrophy. There are no inflammatory infiltrates. Arterioles and small arteries are unremarkable. Four additional levels were cut and stained with PASH. These yielded eight more glomeruli, which are all similar to those described above and show essentially normal morphology and no segmental sclerosis.

			Kidney, needle biopsy- Minimal change nephropathy.

			These findings are most consistent with minimal change nephropathy. The large number of glomeruli available for examination in this biopsy makes focal segmental glomerulosclerosis extremely unlikely. Furthermore, the absence of any significant interstitial fibrosis or tubular atrophy is also evidence against focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, especially since the original disease began at least three or four years ago.
