(1/3) A case of active lupus nephritis in a limited sample. Only renal medulla was present for IF. Two glomeruli total were present for LM and paraffin IF was performed, which demonstrated near "full house" staining.

Collapsing glomerular lesions are aptly named, given the prominent “collapse” of glomerular tuft capillary loops. There is also hyperplasia and hypertrophy of overlying epithelial cells, and protein resorption droplets may be abundant (see arrow).
