(Created page with "'''Staining''': HE '''Organ''': Kidney '''Description''': Four typical signs can be seen: # Most glomeruli contain globular eosinophilic structures. Some glomeruli are unaffected. # The tubulointerstitium is infiltrated by RBCs, lymphocytes and plasma cells # The tubules contain eosinophilic substance, making they look like the thyroid histologically. This process is called thyroidisation. # Arteriolosclerosis of the vessels in the renal sinus '''Diagnosis''': End-s...")

Despite the loss of many glomeruli some are still normal and functioning, so the kidney still produces some urine.
