Electron Microscopy
There is global podocyte foot process effacement. The glomerular basement membrane is thick and distorted by large, intramembranous and subendothelial, immune complex deposits. Rare subepithelial deposits are seen. The mesangium has numerous, large electron dense deposits. There is segmental, cellular interposition. A rare, tubuloreticular structure is present in an endothelial cell.
