Electron microscopy showed accumulation of fibrillary material in mesangial areas and capillary basement membranes [Figures 1, 2].
Fibrillary Glomerular Deposition (Electron Microscopy). Electron micrograph of renal biopsy showing randomly arranged microfibrils (asterisks) measuring 15-20 nm in diameter located in the basement membrane and mesangium.
