Table 2.

Histological score according Karpinski

Histological score
Glomerular score 0 = no globally sclerosed glomeruli
1 = < 20% global glomerulosclerosis
2 = 20-50% global glomerulosclerosis
3 = > 50% global glomerulosclerosis
Tubular score 0 = absent
1 = < 20% of tubules affected
2 = 20-50% of tubules affected
3 = > 50% of tubules affected
Interstitial score 0 = absent
1 = < 20% of cortical parenchyma replaced by fibrous connective tissue
2 = 20-50% of cortical parenchyma replaced by fibrous connective tissue
3 = > 50% of cortical parenchyma replaced by fibrous connective tissue
Vascular score 0 = absent
1 = increased wall thickness but to a degree that is less than the diameter of the lumen
2 = wall thickness that is equal or slightly greater than the diameter of the lumen
3 = wall thickness that far exceeds the diameter of the lumen, with extreme narrowing
