Electron microscopy of the glomeruli. (A): In Mt 1, a glomerular podocyte (indicated by the arrow) exhibits an increased number of mitochondria. The podocytes show patchy foot process effacement (arrowheads). (B-D): In LBW 1 (B), LBW 2 (C), and LBW 3 (D), the number and morphology of mitochondria in the glomerular podocytes are normal. However, the podocytes show patchy foot process effacement (arrowheads).
