any antifreeze exposure?
any antifreeze exposure? Thats an interstitial nephrosis pattern and very bright I have seen this with antifreeze. …crystalluria? Needs Bx. I would say amyloid but in my experience amyloid kidneys do not get this bright.

The medullary rim shows mineralization which explains the proteinuria… BP elevated?

Has hypercalcemia been rule

Has hypercalcemia been rule out as this would another consideration?
