Renal Amyloidosis. Light micrograph of a human kidney showing amyloid deposits (pink) in glomeruli. Its deposition causes disruption of tissues,loss of functioning cells and if arteries are involved,a reduction in blood supply. It is associated with diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis & some cancers. The kidneys are the organs most commonly involved in amyloidosis. Renal failure caused by widespread amyloidosis accounts for the majority of deaths from the disease. Magnification: 250 when printed 10cm wide. Human tissue | |
