Representative pathological findings of the first and second kidney biopsies (A for the first biopsy, B-E for the second biopsy). A Focal interstitial mononuclear inflammatory cells infiltration was evident. Of note is that destructive tubulitis (arrow) was observed along with multinuclear giant cells (arrowheads). [Periodic acid-methenamine-silver (PAM) staining, × 100]. B A glomerulus showed double contours of the glomerular basement membrane (arrowheads) and microaneurysm (arrow) (PAM staining, × 400). C, D Vascular lumens were severely narrowed by mucoid intimal thickening of the arterioles. Arteriolar hyalinosis was also shown (PAM staining, × 400). E Thrombi were found in the arterioles (Masson-Trichrome staining, × 400)
