Chronic kidney disease, illustration and light micrograph
Chronic kidney disease, computer illustration and light micrograph. The illustration shows the gross anatomy of kidneys with chronic glomerulonephritis. The kidneys are atrophied with a thin cortex and cysts that create a bumpy appearance. The light micrograph shows histopathology of the diseased kidney with atrophied glomeruli. The chronic form of glomerulonephritis may develop in adults following a streptococcal throat infection. It is seen clinically as low urine production (oliguria), high blood pressure and urea retention.
