Abstract
Light microscopy revealed acute tubular injury with numerous yellow-brown crystals with needle or rod shapes and of granular appearance, often in a fan-like arrangement. The crystals were seen within tubular lumens, in tubular epithelial cells, and in the interstitium. The crystals were strongly birefringent under polarized light. Moderate tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis, and mild lymphocytic interstitial inflammation involving 50% of the renal cortex were observed.
