Glomerular tip adhesions in each patient. “V”, “U”, and “Asterisk” mean vascular pole, urinary pole, and glomerular tip adhesion, respectively. A. In Patient 1, a glomerular tip adhesion is seen at 6 o'clock (PAS stain, 200×). B. In Patient 2, glomerular tip adhesions are observed at 4 and 8 o'clock (PAMS stain, 200×). C. In Patient 3, a glomerular tip adhesion with segmental sclerotic lesions of the mesangial area is observed at 8 o’clock (PAS stain, 200×). D. In Patient 4, a glomerular tip adhesion with segmental sclerosis is present at 6 o'clock (PAMS stain, 200×). E. In Patient 5, a glomerular tip adhesion is seen at 6 o’clock, and hypercellularity is observed in the upper portion of the glomerulus (PAS stain, 200×). F. In Patient 6, a glomerular tip adhesion is observed at 9 o’clock, with mild mesangial proliferation (PAS stain, 200×). G. In Patient 7, a glomerular tip adhesion is seen at 7 o’clock (PAMS stain, 200×). H. In Patient 8, glomerular tip adhesions are observed at 7 o’clock (PAS stain, 200×). I. In Patient 9, glomerular tip adhesions are observed at 5 and 7 o’clock, (PAS stain, 200×).
