Glomerulonephritis Associated with Systemic Infections
Pathological Characteristics of HIV infection-associated AKI; A) HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN): lobal glomerular collapse with overlying epithelial cell crowding and hypertrophy; B) Acute tubular necrosis: Focal tubular necrosis at multiple points along the nephron and rupture of the basement membrane; C) Thrombotic microangiopathies: mesangiolysis, double contour basement membrane; D) membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN): intense glomerular hypercellularity, diffuse thickening of the glomerular basement membrane with the appearance of “double contours”.
