Imaging manifestations and renal biopsy to show renal lesions. A-D Computed tomography (CT) scan of the proband. Arrows to show renal calcification. C and D are the magnification of A and B, respectively. E-H Renal pathomorphism of the patient to show renal tubular lesions. E. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. F. Periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining. G. Sliver methenamine (SM) staining. H. Congo red staining. Those show renal tubular atrophy, epithelial cell edema, and the thickening of basal membrane. The vacuolar degeneration of tubular epithelial cells and loss of brush border were observed. SM and Congo red staining were negative. (× 200) Arrowheads in panel E indicate degenerated tubular epithelial cells. The scale bar in panel E-H stands for 100 μm
