Light microscopic grading criteria.*

0 Normal
1 Minimal focal hypercellularity
2 Moderate hypercellularity, early tubular dilatation
3 Diffuse hypercellularity, tubular dilatation, early crescents and sclerosis
4 Maximum lesion, diffuse hypercellularity, marked tubular dilatation, crescents, sclerosis and glomerular obsolescence
*

Based on grading system developed by Luo et al. Sections are graded in increments of 0·5.
