1 Uromodulin storage disease
S.H. Nasr, J.P. Lucia, S.J. Galgano, G.S. Markowitz, V.D. D'Agati  Kidney International  Volume 73, Issue 8, Pages (April 2008) DOI: /sj.ki Copyright © 2008 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 On low-power view, the cortex displays focal patchy tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis, with minimal interstitial inflammation. No tubulitis is seen. The glomerulus is unremarkable (hematoxylin and eosin, original magnification × 200).

3 Figure 2 On high-power, distal tubular cells contain focal intracytoplasmic inclusions of lamellated trichrome blue material (arrows) that contrasts with the red staining cytoplasm (Masson trichrome, original magnification × 600).

4 Figure 3 A representative distal tubular profile shows a cell at center containing dilated cisternae of the ER in which there is accumulation of granular, moderately electron dense storage material (arrow). The tubular basement membrane appears thickened and lamellated (electron micrograph, original magnification × 4000).

5 Figure 4 On high power, distal tubular cells contain hyperplastic bundles of the ER (arrow) with few intervening mitochondria alternating with areas of dilated ER containing storage material (arrowhead) (electron micrograph, original magnification × 6000).

6 Figure 5 Immunostain for UMOD in control kidney shows homogeneous diffuse staining of cytoplasm and apical membranes of TALH cells (original magnification × 600). Kidney International  , DOI: ( /sj.ki ) Copyright © 2008 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions

7 Figure 6 Immunostain of the patient's biopsy shows focal coarse, dense clusters of UMOD within TALH cells, corresponding to the intracellular inclusions (original magnification × 600).
