Pathological findings of the kidney specimen obtained from the present patient. (A) The glomeruli in kidney specimens obtained from the present patient showed cellular lesions, characterized by swollen, vacuolated, and proliferative glomerular epithelial cells throughout Bowman’s space. The underlying glomerular capillaries were partially collapsed and occluded by swollen endothelial cells and karyorrhexis (original magnification × 400. Scale bar = 50 µm); (B) Cystic dilatations of the tubules were also observed (original magnification × 200. Scale bar = 50 µm)
