Stage II-III membranous glomerulonephritis with thickened capillary wall resulting from numerous medium to large subepithelial dense deposits and basement membrane reaction.

Epithelial cells show effaced foot processes.
Stage III membranous glomerulonephritis with medium-sized subepithelial dense deposits and basement membrane reaction surrounding most of the deposits. In the center, a lucent area partially replaces a deposit that is being resorbed. Bowman's capsule and the parietal epithelium is on the far right. Stage III-IV membranous glomerulonephritis with mostly rarefied deposits or lucent areas instead of dense deposits, with surrounding and overlying basement membrane reaction.
