Inflamed kidney, light micrograph
Inflamed kidney. Light micrograph of a section through a kidney with acute nephritis (inflammation). There are areas of necrosis (tissue death) within the glomerulus (centre) and tubule morphology is being lost. Large numbers of inflammatory cells (centre left) are also present. Magnification: x200 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of an inflamed kidney under a light microscope. The image captures a section through a kidney affected by acute nephritis, revealing the devastating consequences of inflammation on this vital organ. The visual narrative begins with areas of necrosis within the glomerulus, representing tissue death caused by the inflammatory process. As we delve deeper into the micrograph, we witness the gradual loss of tubule morphology, highlighting how this disorder disrupts normal kidney function. Intriguingly, large numbers of inflammatory cells dominate the center-left region of the image, emphasizing their role in perpetuating and exacerbating renal inflammation. This microscopic view offers valuable insights into disease progression and underscores its complexity. With a magnification level set at x200 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every minute detail is brought to life. The print serves as a powerful tool for medical professionals and researchers studying conditions affecting the urinary system. Through histopathological examination, this photograph sheds light on not only inflammation but also necrosis within renal tissues. Its scientific significance lies in unraveling key aspects of acute nephritis while reminding us about our ongoing quest to understand and combat such diseases that impact millions worldwide.
