What does membranous glomerulonephritis look like?
- Light microscopy: Uniform thickening of the basement membrane is seen.
- Jones silver stain: Spike and dome because protein is highlighted in black and deposits lie between the spikes which are not deposited.
- Immunofluorescence: Granular deposits of IgG and C3.
- Electron microscopy: Electron dense subepithelial deposits.
