Three photomicrographs from three separate baseline biopsies of glomerular tissues for light microscopy that were fixed in Zenker’s solution and embedded in paraffin and stained with periodic acid Schiff (PAS): a. glomerulus in which the mesangium appears normal; b. shows a glomerulus with mild mesangial expansion with increased PAS positive matrix material between the capillary loops and branching from the base of the glomerulus (hilus) to the periphery (black arrows); c. shows a glomerulus with moderate mesangial expansion (black arrows).
