AbstractGlomeruli from 48 cases of glomerulonephritis (Gn) were isolated and studied by means of the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Overall glomerular loss due to processing was 2.4%. SEM of these isolated glomeruli showed good preservation of glomerular structure. Changes of the podocyte cell body and its foot processes were noted and correlated with light microscopic morphology. Individual podocyte necrosis, variable foot process fusion and cell body swelling were seen in IgA nephropathy. Podocyte degeneration with separation from the glomerular basement membrane was evident in idiopathic minimal change Gn while idiopathic membranous Gn was characterized by globular swelling of the podocyte cell bodies. In focal sclerosing Gn, large spherical bodies arising from swollen podocyte cell bodies were frequently encountered. Innumerable microvilli and small spherical bodies characterized membranoproliferative Gn. Variable podocyte cell body swelling, microvilli and small spherical bodies were seen in cases of lupus nephritis. Taken alone, none of the SEM changes were diagnostic. However, when the type of the change, the severity and the combination of the changes were considered as a whole, they were indicative of what light microscopy might reveal and helpful in differentiating between idiopathic minimal change Gn and focal sclerosing Gn.
