Figure 1 Electron photomicrographs from renal cortical zones showing peritubular capillaries (Cap), interstitial collagen fibrils (Col), interstitial cell (Cell), interstitial space and tubular basement membrane (TBM; ×7500) in a non-diabetic control (A) and in a diabetic patient with moderate interstitial expansion (B). Note the collapsed capillaries, increased collagen and thickened and laminated tubular basement membrane in the diabetic patient in panel B.
