1 Lithium-associated nephropathy in the renal allograft
Cristian Rodelo-Haad, Maria L. Agüera, Rosa Ortega, Ana Martinez-Lopez, M. Dolores Navarro, Alberto Rodriguez-Benot, Pedro Aljama  Kidney International  Volume 93, Issue 1, (January 2018) DOI: /j.kint Copyright © 2017 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Kidney graft biopsy findings showing glomerulomegaly, interstitial nephritis, tubular atrophy, and microcysts in distal convoluted tubules (red arrows; hematoxylin and eosin stain ×100).

3 Figure 2 Immunohistochemical of paraffin-embedded kidney graft biopsy. Cytokeratin-18 staining is a useful tool to identify microcysts in the distal nephron segments (red arrows; cytokeratin-18 ×40).

4 Figure S1 Periodic acid–Schiff–positive material on the luminal surface of tubular cells (red arrow). The periodic acid–Schiff–positive granularity may be due to glycogen accumulation because it disappears after treatment with diastase (periodic acid–Schiff ×100).

5 Figure S2 Serum lithium (Li) and creatinine levels (SCr) throughout follow-up after transplantation. Biopsy was performed because of impairment of kidney allograft function (arrowhead). Shaded area indicates normal range for serum lithium levels. Kidney International  , DOI: ( /j.kint ) Copyright © 2017 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions
