Glomerular tuft and
DIC
Look at the edges of the
glomerular tufts for the irregularly-shaped,
eosinophilic microthrombi. In
some instances, sufficient thrombi are present to
cause a macroscopic infarct in
the kidney.

Pericarditis with Fibrinous
Exudate
When the inflammatory exudate contains
plentiful fibrinogen, this polymerises
into a thick fibrin coating. This is often seen in acute pericarditis and gives
the
parietal and visceral pericardium a 'bread and butter' appearance.
