Histopathological findings in the kidney biopsy from the patient. (a): A glomerulus with thickened basement membranes and normal cellularity is shown (periodic acid-Schiff stain, × 200) (b): A glomerulus with a bubbly appearance and spike formation of the glomerular capillary walls is shown (periodic acid silver-methenamine stain, × 400). (c): Intense immunofluorescence staining for immunoglobulin G on the glomerular capillary walls is shown (× 200) (d): Subepithelial electron-dense deposits and effacement of the podocyte foot processes are observed on electron microcopy (× 8000)
