1. Chronic glomerulonephritis
Chronic glomerulonephritis. Over time, with many renal diseases, all four components of the renal cortex (i.e., glomeruli, tubules, interstitium, and vessels) are damaged. In this section, there is one globally sclerotic glomerulus and many atrophic tubules. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are common etiologies of chronic renal failure; however, at the end stage of the disease, histologic examination of the kidney often will not reveal changes to identify the underlying cause.
