File:IPLab5DM1.jpg|This is a gross photograph of the kidneys from this case. Note that there are multiple shrunken regions (old infarcts) (arrows) and the kidneys have a rough granular appearance on the surface, which is caused by multiple small infarcts of small vessels throughout the cortex.
File:IPLab5DM2IPLab5DM2b.jpg|This is a low-power photomicrograph of the kidney from this patient. The section extends from cortex (1) to the medulla (2). File:IPLab5DM3IPLab5DM3b.jpg|This is a higher-power photomicrograph of the cortical region. In this region there is ischemic obsolescence of glomeruli and one glomerulus with nodular glomerulosclerosis (1). Also note the thickened walls of the blood vessels (2). File:IPLab5DM4IPLab5DM4b.jpg|This is a high-power photomicrograph of two glomeruli with intercapillary glomerulosclerosis (arrows). File:IPLab5DM5IPLab5DM5b.jpg|This is a photomicrograph of a glomerulus with nodular glomerulosclerosis (1). Also note the intertubular fibrosis and the changes in the blood vessels (2). File:IPLab5DM6IPLab5DM6b.jpg|This is a higher-power photomicrograph of a glomerulus with nodular glomerulosclerosis (arrows). These are the classic Kimmelstiel-Wilson lesions ("K-W lesions") seen in diabetics with nodular glomerulosclerosis. File:IPLab5DM7IPLab5DM7b.jpg|This is a photomicrograph of kidney with a focal exudative lesion in a glomerulus (arrow) and sclerosis, interstitial fibrosis, and congestion.
