Question
Which of the following is NOT a histological feature likely to be seen in a renalbiopsy from a diabetic patient?a. Microalbuminuriab. Glomerular basement membrane thickeningc. Nodular glomerulosclerosisd. Nephrosclerosise. Diffuse increase in mesangium
Solution
The correct answer is a. Microalbuminuria. This is not a histological feature. Histological features refer to the microscopic features of tissues. Microalbuminuria is a clinical feature that can be detected in urine tests, but it is not something that would be seen on a biopsy. The other options (b. Glomerular basement membrane thickening, c. Nodular glomerulosclerosis, d. Nephrosclerosis, e. Diffuse increase in mesangium) are all histological changes that can be seen in the kidneys of patients with diabetes.
