a Chronic active interstitial nephritis with focal cellular crescents and linear IgG immunoglobulin deposition. Widespread acute tubular injury with luminal dilatation and flattened epithelium. A glomerulus demonstrates segmental sclerosis and capsular adhesion, possibly and previous crescent (arrow) (hematoxylin and eosin [H&E], original magnification 40×). b Glomerulus with cellular crescent (periodic acid–Schiff [PAS], original magnification 200×). c Immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrates linear staining for Immunoglobulin G along peripheral capillary loops of all glomeruli (original magnification 200×), also for positive linear IgG3+, IgA 2+, Kappa 2+, Lambda 2 anti-glomerular basement membrane glomerulonephritis (not shown)
