end stage kidney of chronic glomerulonephritis


Here's an end stage kidney of chronic glomerulonephritis. Notice again it is extremely contracted and finely granular. This is the kidney of a 38 year old man who presented with an insidious onset of the three signs of uremia, that is loss of appetite, lethargy, and the laboratory finding of an increased BUN. He had no antecedent history of acute glomerulonephritis.
