AbstractPeripheral glomerular capillary walls were studied in 26 cases of IgA nephropathy by means of the transmission electron microscope. Ultrastructural abnormalities were identified in 11 cases (42%). Abnormalities of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) were the most frequent change which consisted of localized thinning, lamination, irregular thickening, disruption, membranolysis and aneurysmal dilatation of the GBM. Subendothelial electron dense deposits were seen. Necrosis and detachment of the podocytes from the GBM were also encountered. The changes were correlated with the clinical findings at the time of diagnosis which showed a significant correlation of these peripheral glomerular capillary wall lesions with proteinuria. With light microscopy, crescents were significantly more frequently seen in the cases showing the ultrastructural capillary wall abnormalities than those without. This observation suggested that local peripheral glomerular capillary wall damage was an important factor in the pathogenesis of the extracapillary lesions in IgA nephropathy.
