Kidney biopsies from 18 patients with primary gout were studied. Glomerular changes were found in all cases along with alterations in tubuli and vessels and stromal sclerosis. They were characterized by local thickening of basal membranes of capillaries, increase in the mesangial matrix, focal or diffuse proliferation of mesangial and endothelial cells of various degree of severity. Proliferation and activation of endothelial cells, mesangiocytes, podocytes, signs of podocyte damage, were found electron-microscopically. Subendothelial lucid zones were observed in the basal membrane, possibly at the site of uric acid deposits. The above described alterations resemble those in focal mesangio-capillary or mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
