Glomerular Ultrastructural Abnormalities in a Patient with Mixed IgG-IgM Essential Cryoglobulinemic Glomerulonephritis

Abstract
Distinct glomerular ultrastructural lesions in the form of nodular subepithelial and intramembranous, as well as discrete and band-like subendothelial deposits are described in a patient suffering from mixed IgG-IgM essential cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis. It is suggested that the deposits may represent immune complexes which are believed to play a central role in the pathogenesis of the glomerulonephritis.
