High expression of type I inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor in the kidney of rats with hepatorenal syndrome

Figure 2 Histopathology of the kidney. A: The glomerular basement membrane of the kidney was intact, and the foot processes of podocytes and fenestra of endothelial cells were clearly visible; B: The basal part of proximal tubule cubical epithelial cells had abundant plasma membrane infolding, which was rich in longitudinally arranged mitochondria with intact cristae. On the free surface of proximal tubule cubical epithelial cells, microvilli were long and dense; C: The basal part of distal tubule cubical epithelial cells also had abundant plasma membrane infolding, which was rich in mitochondria. On the free surface of distal tubule cubical epithelial cells, microvilli were short and sparse.
