    Kidney biopsy findings. (A) Circumferential cellular crescent with compressed capillary tuft (periodic acid–Schiff; original magnification ×400). (B) Immunofluorescence microscopy with antisera to immunoglobulin G shows a pseudolinear pattern along the capillary walls. (C) Electron microscopy with randomly oriented fibrils along the glomerular basement membrane (fibril thickness, 17 to 21 nm).
