Figure 1 Kidney biopsy day 7 post-admission. A. Light microscopy: numerous isometric osmotic vacuoles within tubular epithelial cells (H&E X400). B. Light microscopy: lymphoid infiltrate consistent with CLL within renal parenchyma (H&E x200). C. Electron microscopy: prominent vacuolization within tubular epithelial cells (uranyl acetate and lead citrate x 1000). D. Electron microscopy: higher magnification showing membrane bound osmotic vacuoles seen separate from mitochondria (uranyl acetate and lead citrate x 6000).

Figure 2 Serum creatinine trend to day 15 of hospital admission. Fenofibrate 145mg administered from day 2 to 6, olanzapine 10mg daily from day 1 and gliclazide 60mg twice daily from day 3. Intravenous fluid therapy continued to day 12. Kidney biopsy performed on day 7 (green arrow).

Interesting case report in @ajkd.bsky.social
