Pathological Analysis of Early Transplant Glomerulopathy in Renal Allografts Using Low-Vacuum Scanning Electron Microscopy

Conclusion: LVSEM revealed early GBM duplication in AABMR. Early GBM duplication might progress in the very early phase of AABMR. GBM duplication was more frequently detected by LVSEM than by LM in biopsy specimens with early chronic, active antibody mediated rejection. Thus, LVSEM may be useful in diagnosis of early transplant glomerulopathy.Nephron
