One of the more subtle cases of amyloidosis I have seen. Few spicules on silver stain. Minimal congo red positivity. Despite early amyloid deposition, pt had nephrotic syndrome. Likely AL type (pt has LPL); MS pending. #renalpath #pathsky #nephsky

Bx for progressive CKD in a pt with CML, in remission. Limited biopsy with prominent debris filled proximal tubule lysosomes + for lysozyme (no evidence for light chain restriction (F/P) or chromogranin). Suspicious for lysozyme nephropathy. #renalpath #pathksy #nephsky

So many eosinophils in this case of tubulointerstitial nephritis secondary to recent antibiotic administration. Few tiny granulomas as well. Eos seen in EM as well. #renalpath #pathsky #nephsky

Unfortunate but not rare IgAN presentation. Pt in their 30's, no PMHx, presented with HTN emergency, CKD, hematuria, proteinuria. Advanced IgAN with severe IFTA, focal active crescents (M1 E1 S1 T2 C1). Wish we could catch these cases earlier. #renalpath #pathsky #nephsky

BK nephropathy
Clues:
- Heavy but focal tubulointerstitial inflammation
- Increased plasma cells
- Viral cytopathic change
- Features of CNI toxicity ->over immunosuppression (isometric vacuolization shown here)
-SV40 IHC confirmatory
