Introduction
• What is a kidney biopsy?• How is it processed and looked at?• What are the changes that lead to diagnosis of
MPGN or C3 glomerulopathy (DDD/C3GN)?– How are these diseases classified?
• Why do these changes occur?

The kidney biopsy
Walker et al Mod Path 2004
10-30 out of 1 million glomeruli are looked at

How are biopsies examined?
“Light microscopy”• Fixed (pickled) in formalin• Embedded in wax (paraffin)• Sliced very thin (2 µm)• Mounted on a slide• Stained to show up cells and
proteins

What do we see in MPGN/DDD/C3 glomerulopathy?
www.unckidneycenter.org http://library.med.utah.edu
“Tram tracks”
These appearances are defined as MPGNNormal

Electron dense deposits in MPGN and C3GN

Electron dense deposits can also be
seen in the outside of the membrane

What is in these deposits?
• Special stains (“immuno”) reveals what they contain:• Complement (C3) almost always present• In MPGN (but not DDD/C3G) antibodies also present

Summary – what the kidney biopsy tells us
• What the disease is (MPGN, DDD or C3 glomerulonephritis)
• Whether this is likely to result from antibody production (autoimmunity) or a change in a complement regulating gene
• The amount of inflammation (number of cells) in the kidney
• The amount of scarring in the kidney
