Figure 1 Cryoglobulin-related glomerulonephritis (GN) with membranoproliferative pattern of injury. (A) Lobular appearance of the glomerulus with glomerular basement membrane double contours and subendothelial deposits seen as eosinophilic material. (B) Cryoglobulin-related GN with membranoproliferative features and cryoglobulin plugs (Jones silver stain). Panel A is reproduced with permission from AJKD 33(1):e1.

Figure 3 Cryoglobulin-related glomerulonephritis with mesangial and segmental, peripheral capillary loop elongated segments of deposits with smooth outer border. This suggests subendothelial location of deposits. There is also staining within capillary loops corresponding to cryoglobulin plugs seen by light microscopy.

Figure 4 Cryoglobulin-related glomerulonephritis with strong discontinuous capillary wall and mesangial segmental deposits. Complement typically co-localizes with immunoglobulins (immunofluorescence microscopy, C3). Reproduced with permission from AJKD 33(1):e1.

Figure 6 Cryoglobulin-related glomerulonephritis with wormy, short fibrillary substructure of subendothelial deposits. This type of substructure suggests a cryoglobulin causing the deposits (electron microscopy).
