Download Lecture Overview
00:00 Corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide. 00:02 Subendothelial deposits is what we're looking at here on electron microscopy. 00:07 Same thing, get in the habit of doing this quickly. 00:10 The more number of times you go to the protocol the better off you’ll be. 00:13 You’ll find your glomerular basement membrane paved road. 00:16 Number two, you look for the foot processes. 00:19 Well, there’s nothing underneath the foot process because this is DPGN. 00:24 Which gives you what? The title of the slide is subendothelial. 00:28 So therefore, you would find this underneath the endothelial cell. 00:31 Thin rim of normal basement membrane, it separates the epithelial side from the obviously the endothelial side. 00:41 Patient has diffused proliferative glomerulonephritis and as we talked about the prototype here, will be SLE. 00:49 If you pay attention, this is your electron microscopy with subendothelial DPGN. 00:55 As you see here on light microscopy, there’s going to be diffused proliferation. 01:01 There is going to be hypercellularity and there’s neutrophils within the mesangium. 01:05 What’s your mesangium? Basically, think of it as being the supportive infrastructure of your glomerulus, which then properly support your glomerular capillaries and all. 01:14 Also, it very much behaves like smooth muscle in which it will contract when need be.
