(Figure 1) Fresh infarct of kidney (between the arrows). The infarct area is wedge-shaped. The arrowhead indicates the tip of the wedge. This is the occlusion site of the blood vessel. |
|
(Figure 2). The border between the infarct area and normal kidney shows marked congestion (arrow). |
|
(Figure 3). Normal glomerulus (arrow) and renal tubules (arrowhead). |
|
(Figure 4). Infarcted glomeulus (arrow) and renal tubule (arrowhead). The infarct area shows coagulative necrosis. The cell borders are still visible but the cells show swollen and eosinophilic cytoplasm. No nuclei are found. |
|
(Figure 5). Coagulative necrosis of renal tubules. The epithelial cells of renal tubules lose their nuclei and have swollen eosinophilic cytoplasm. |
|
(Figure 6). Arterial embolization (arrow). The embolus obstructs the vessel lumen. |
