Active lesions | Chronic lesions |
Glomeruli: Thrombi - Endothelial swelling or denudation - Fragmented RBCs - Subendothelial flocculent material. EM: Mesangiolysis - Microaneurysms | Glomeruli: LM: Double contours of peripheral capillary walls, with variable mesangial interposition - EM: New subendothelial basement membrane - Widening of the subendothelial zone |
Arterioles: Thrombi - Endothelial swelling or denudation-Intramural fibrin-Fragmented red blood cells-Intimal swelling-Myocyte necrosis | Arterioles: Hyaline deposits Arteries: Fibrous intimal thickening with concentric lamination (onion skin) |
