| Image:Glomerulonephritis case 2.jpg|This is a higher-power photomicrograph of hyalinized glomeruli (arrows) and glomeruli with thick basement membranes.

| Image:Glomerulonephritis case 5.jpg|This is an immunofluorescent photomicrograph of granular membranous immunofluorescence (immune complex disease). The antibody used for these studies was specific for IgG.
| |
| Image:Glomerulonephritis case 6.jpg|This is an electron micrograph of subepithelial granular electron dense deposits (arrows) which correspond to the granular immunofluorescence seen in the previous image.

| Image:Glomerulonephritis case 7.jpg|This is a photomicrograph of a glomerulus from another case with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. In this case the immune complex glomerular disease is ongoing with necrosis and accumulation of neutrophils in the glomerulus.
| |
| Image:Glomerulonephritis case 8.jpg|This immunofluorescent photomicrograph of a glomerulus from a case of acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis shows a granular immunofluorescence pattern consistent with immune complex disease. The primary antibody used for this staining was specific for IgG; however antibodies for complement would show a similar pattern.
