Figure 2. Light microscopy of the kidney biopsy of a female patient. Well-preserved intracellular lipid inclusions in osmicated,
epoxy-embedded tissue. The enlarged podocytes and parietal epithelial cells contain lamellated inclusion bodies (BasicFuchsin; x40).

(yellow arrows).
scoring system grades podocyte vacuolization and inclusions based on the extent of involvement, while
glomerular and interstitial lesions are graded based on severity. The minimum score is 0 and the maximum
score is 3 . The average score using this scoring system among our series was 2.4, which was significant.
