The rejected kidney was edematous and the pale tan-brown cortex was irregularly red-mottled. Upon sectioning the corticomedullary junction was not well-demarcated. The renal papillae were edematous and the renal pelvis had generalized petechial hemorrhages which extended through the 7-cm segment of ureter to a diffusely hemorrhagic terminal portion.
== Autopsy Findings ==
The kidney weighed 240 grams and was edematous. The capsule stripped with ease to reveal a pale tan-brown cortex which was irregularly red-mottled. Upon sectioning, the cortical band was ill-defined, and the corticomedullary junction was not well-demarcated. The renal papillae were edematous and the renal pelvis displayed generalized petechial hemorrhages which extended through the 7-cm segment of ureter to a diffusely hemorrhagic terminal portion.
