However, new research shows the picture is more nuanced than we thought. Not everyone with two copies develops disease, and we've discovered a protective modifier variant called M1 that can lower risk when it's inherited with the G2 variant. #apol1 #renal

This biopsy shows glomerular arteriolar and capillary thrombi characteristic of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). Immunofluorescence studies (not shown) are negative for significant glomerular or tubulointerstitial immune complex deposits.

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).
