Kidney Disease

Acute Pyelonephritis: Acute suppurative (pus forming) infection

of the collecting system of kidney and renal parenchyma
Acute Pyelonephritis

Congested
blood vessels
Chronic Pyelonephritis

Sclerosed glomeruli
Chronic Pyelonephritis

colloid casts (tubular thyroidization )

Interstitial fibrosis and inflammation renal tubule atrophy with tubular thyroidization
(filled with colloid casts)
Chronic Pyelonephritis
colloid casts (tubular
thyroidization)

Interstitial fibrosis

renal tubule atrophy

Acute glomerulonephritis
Glomeruli are enlarged and hypercellular
due to neutrophils and macrophages and
proliferation of mesangial and endothelial
cells

Interstitial hemorrhage with Tubules

contain red blood cells
Chronic glomerulonephritis

Hyalinization of glomeruli

Hypercellularity: due to cellular proliferation

(mesangial, endothelial, parietal epithelial
cells); white blood cells (acute and chronic)
Interstitial nephritis (the spaces between the kidney tubules become swollen
(inflamed)
