Figure 5.
Wedge biopsy of the donor kidney from a young man who
died of head injury. Virtually all glomeruli showed
fibrin thrombi indicative of disseminated intravascular
coagulation(DIC). The coarse vacuolation of the tubular
epithelium seen here reflects concurrent ischemic
injury to the renal parenchyma. It was decided not to
use these kidneys.
