  • light microscopy
  • electron microscopy
  • immunofluorescence

Glomerulonephritides may be either:

  • focal - affecting only a proportion of glomeruli whilst the remainder are normal
  • segmental - only parts of an affected glomeruli are diseased whilst the remainder is histologically normal
