CLINICAL HISTORY : K/C/O Nephrotic syndrome, HTN, hypertensive urgency 1 month back,
S. creatinine 1.9 mg%, 24 hours urine protein 5 gm, serum albumin 31.
S. cholesterol 670 mg%, ANA, anti dsDNA, ANCA - negative.
MICROSCOPY : Multiple sections stained with H&E, PAS, Silver methenamine, MT and Congo
red include renal medulla & cortical parenchymal core containing upto 16
glomeruli, four (25%) are globally sclerosed. Viable glomeruli show mild increase
in mesangial cellularity & matrix and few show segmental endocapillary cellularity
with intracapillary neutrophil & mononuclear cell margination. Peripheral
glomerular capillaries do not appear thickened. Five (31.2%) glomeruli show
segmental tuft sclerosis and two (12.5%) reveal crescent formation (one cellular
& one fibrocellular). Active tuft necrosis is not observed.
Tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis involve about 25-30% of sampled cortex.
Tubules show focal cytoplasmic vacuolar change. Scattered hyaline & granular
casts are seen in tubular lumina. Multifocal chronic interstitial inflammation is
noted.
Arteries show medial thickening, while arterioles exhibit hyalinosis lesions and

DIF : Tissue for DIF contains renal cortical parenchyma containing upto 8 glomeruli.
Following immunostaining pattern is observed:
PARAMETER RESULT
IgA 3+ mesangial; granular
IgG Negative
IgM Negative
C3 2+ mesangial; granular
C1q Negative
Kappa Light chains 2+ mesangial; granular
Lambda Light chains 3+ mesangial; granular
COMMENTS : According to the Oxford Classification for IgA nephropathy, scores of M1 and S1
indicate mesangial hypercellularity and segmental glomerulosclerosis,
respectively, and by themselves indicate a mildly increased risk of renal
functional deterioration. However, M1 and S1 together suggest a considerable
