File:IPLab6GN1.jpg|This is a low-power photomicrograph of a saggital section of end stage chronic glomerulonephritis (GN). Note the marked thinning of the cortex (arrow). File:IPLab6GN2.jpg|This is a higher-power photomicrograph of hyalinized glomeruli (arrows) and glomeruli with thick basement membranes. File:IPLab6GN3.jpg|This is a higher-power photomicrograph of hyalinized glomeruli (1) and glomeruli with thickened basement membranes (2). File:IPLab6GN4.jpg|This is a photomicrograph of interstitial and vascular lesions in end stage renal disease. File:IPLab6GN5.jpg|This is an immunofluorescent photomicrograph of granular membranous immunofluorescence (immune complex disease). The antibody used for these studies was specific for IgG. File:IPLab6GN6.jpg|This is an electron micrograph of subepithelial granular electron dense deposits (arrows) which correspond to the granular immunofluorescence seen in the previous image. File:IPLab6GN7.jpg|This is a photomicrograph of a glomerulus from another case with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. In this case the immune complex glomerular disease is ongoing with necrosis and accumulation of neutrophils in the glomerulus. File:IPLab6GN8.jpg|This immunofluorescent photomicrograph of a glomerulus from a case of acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis shows a granular immunofluorescence pattern consistent with immune complex disease. The primary antibody used for this staining was specific for IgG; however antibodies for complement would show a similar pattern. File:IPLab6GN9.jpg|This electron micrograph demonstrates scattered subepithelial dense deposits (arrows) and a polymorphonuclear leukocyte in the lumen. File:IPLab6GN10.jpg|For comparison this is an immunofluorescent photomicrograph of a glomerulus from a patient with Goodpasture's syndrome. The linear (arrows) immunofluorescence is characteristic of Goodpasture's syndrome.
