Fig. 1. Gross photograph of a kidney with diffuse diabetic glomerulosclerosis. The specimen was from an 81 year-old female with a history of adult-onset diabetis mellitus for 15 years. Note fine granularity of cortical surface.
	Fig. 2. Panoramic image of nodulardiabetic glomerulosclerosis. Note globally sclerotic glomeruli and extensive tubular atrophy. Two non-sclerotic glomeruli show glomerular mesangial increase and nodular intraglomerular masses of hyaline material (Kimmelsteil-Wilson disease) .
	Fig. 3. Panoramic image of nodular diabetic glomerulosclerosis. Note glomerulus showing marked mesangial increase, thickened capillary basement membranes, and multiple nodular masses of hyaline material.
	Fig. 4. Panoramic image of nodular diabetic glomerulosclerosis. Note glomerulus showing marked mesangial increase, thickened capillary basement membranes, and multiple nodular masses of hyaline material.
	Fig. 5. Electron micrograph showing uniform thickening of capillary basement membrane.
