The studies aimed at the determination of ultrastructural changes occurring in the glomeruli in association with renal carcinoma. The material was taken from 7 patients with renal carcinoma. Electron-microscopic investigation showed changes in all 7 cases. These studies demonstrated thickening of the glomerular basement membrane with electron-dense deposits on it and irregular thickening with humps. The humps were of high electron density. In some parts beside the electron-dense deposits the less dense electron lucent patches were found within the glomerular basement membrane. The foot processes of the podocytes were obliterated. Occasionally, the podocytes penetrated into basement membrane. There was mild endothelial cells proliferation in some parts, too.

D001485 Basement Membrane A darkly stained mat-like EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX (ECM) that separates cell layers, such as EPITHELIUM from ENDOTHELIUM or a layer of CONNECTIVE TISSUE. The ECM layer that supports an overlying EPITHELIUM or ENDOTHELIUM is called basal lamina. Basement membrane (BM) can be formed by the fusion of either two adjacent basal laminae or a basal lamina with an adjacent reticular lamina of connective tissue. BM, composed mainly of TYPE IV COLLAGEN; glycoprotein LAMININ; and PROTEOGLYCAN, provides barriers as well as channels between interacting cell layers.
