Glomerulosclerosis, TEM C016 / 5836
Glomerulosclerosis. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through through the glomerulus of a kidney affected by glomerulosclerosis. Glomerulosclerosis is a hardening of the glomerulus, the filtrational unit of a kidney, caused by the build-up of scar tissue. Treatment is of the condition that is causing the scarring

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of glomerulosclerosis, a condition that affects the glomerulus - the vital filtration unit of a kidney. Through transmission electron microscopy (TEM), this monochrome image reveals a cross-section of a kidney affected by glomerulosclerosis, showcasing the unhealthy and abnormal state caused by the accumulation of scar tissue. Glomerulosclerosis is characterized by the hardening of the glomerulus due to scarring, which disrupts its normal function. The TEM image highlights not only the hardened glomerulus but also provides insight into histopathological changes occurring within it. Intraglomerular mesangial cells can be observed amidst scar tissue buildup, emphasizing their role in contributing to this disorder. Understanding and treating glomerulosclerosis involves addressing its underlying causes rather than solely focusing on managing symptoms. This powerful visual aids medical professionals in comprehending how scarring impacts renal health and filtration processes. The work behind this remarkable photograph was carried out by P. Navarro, R. Bick, and B. Poindexter from UT Medical School in collaboration with Science Photo Library's extensive collection of scientific imagery. It serves as an invaluable resource for researchers studying renal diseases and clinicians seeking to improve patient care through enhanced diagnostic techniques and treatment strategies.
