Novel methodology to evaluate renal cysts in polycystic kidney disease.

abstract：:The glomerular ultrastructure was retrospectively reviewed from 45 renal transplant biopsies with the clinical and light microscopic diagnosis of acute rejection (25 cases) and chronic rejection (20 cases). Three grades of morphologic alteration were ultrastructurally defined. In acute rejection, capillary lumenal obl...
