Figure 3. Examples of diabetic nephropathy in diabetic patients in Sardinia.

Figure 3

Sardinia is one of the regions with the highest incidence of diabetes in the world. A: Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) 20 X. Diffuse glomerulosclerosis (1) with "capsular drops" from exudative lesions (2) and arteriolar hyalinosis (3). B: PAS staining, 20 X. Diffuse mesangial expansion with sclerosis (1) and arteriolar hyalinosis (2). C: i) PAS 20 X. Diabetic glomerulosclerosis, with nodular pattern (1). Arteriolar hyalinosis (2). ii) Methenamine silver 20 X. Diffuse and nodular glomerulosclerosis. D: i) Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) 40X. Magnification of nodular glomerulosclerotic lesion surrounded by mesangial cells. ii) Acid fuchsin orange G (AFOG) 40 X. Diffuse and nodular sclerosis in diabetic nephropathy.
