Some patients with membranous glomerulopathy also have associated focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) lesions.

This is a CMV IHC stain, showing CMV positive cells within glomeruli. CMV viral load was four million copies/ml, and bilateral CMV pneumonia was diagnosed.

As published decades ago by Bonsib et al. (see reference), fluorescence microscopy of eosin-stained frozen section slides can be a valuable tool in providing diagnostic clues in kidney biopsies.

There were also mesangial IgA deposits (Figure 3), which likely explain the patient's hematuria and proteinuria, since there was very little glomerular amyloid (Figure 4).

The stain is a Congo Red viewed under fluorescent light with a red filter. It highlights interstitial amyloid deposits, which is the predominant pattern of deposition in LECT2 amyloidosis (confirmed by IHC stain, Figure 2).
