โœฆ Synopsis

In this study we have examined mesangial cell cytoplasm as seen by light microscopy of plastic embedded renal biopsy material. An assessment of mesangial cell morphology has been made in each of the 350 renal biopsies, and this has been correlated with the disease process. A surprisingly close correlation with the type of disease present was demonstrated. Thus it appears that an increase in mesangial cell cytoplasm correlates with an active process involving the mesangial area. It is suggested that the index of mesangial cell reactivity may be useful in diagnosis of glomerular disease processes.

## Abstract Mesangial cells (MC) serve a number of functions in the renal glomerular capillary including structural support of the capillary tuft, modulation of glomerular hemodynamics, and a phagocytic function allowing removal of macromolecules and immune complexes. The proliferation of MC is a p
