Skin Biopsy
Skin biopsy can be of value in establishing the diagnosis.
Renal Biopsy
- The characteristic findings on renal biopsy are
- Intraluminal thrombi
- Diffuse IgM deposition in the capillary loops
- Subendothelial deposits in a “curvilinear” pattern on EM.
- Only 14% develop end stage renal disease (ESRD) at 10 years after a renal biopsy demonstrates MC.
- Recurrent MC can affect up to 70% of transplanted kidneys, but does not preclude transplantation since most of these grafts do not fail.
