  16. 1= subepithelial, MN 2=subepithelial humps, post-infectiours GN 3=Subendothelial 4=Mesangial 5=GMB-Ab complex e.g., Goodpasture’s 6=effacement, foot process

  17. NORMAL GBM. LEFT - a single glomerulus. There are one million of these in each kidney. RIGHT - a close up of the GBM (G) around part of one tiny blood vessel in a glomerulus (red circle in left hand diagram)

  18. Thin Glomerular Membrane Disease

  19. Lipid Accumulation Patients 1&2, In tubular Epithelial cells.

  20. Overwhelms beta-oxidation High Alb filtration Luminal or apical side Entry of free non-esterified fatty acids into proximal tubule cells and the role of albumin as ‘Trojan horse’

  21. Competes with glutamine

  22. Normal Glomerulus Minimal Change Disease
