hi, I am a pathology instructor. I would like to post some trick question every week and would like to discuss that. to begin with what do you think about the following question?
A 46-year-old obese woman has had symptoms of vulvovaginitis for the past 9 months that is found to be caused by Candida. Laboratory tests reveal proteinuria and glucosuria, and increased BUN and creatinine. If a renal biopsy were performed, which of the following findings most likely will be seen in the glomeruli?
A) Duplication of GBM
B) sub epithelial deposits
C) Normocellularity with thickened GBM
D) loss of epithelial foot processes
E) PAS positive glomerular deposits
