REVIEW The renal pathology of mushroom poisoning

Abstract: We present the histology and electromicroscopy of renal failure caused by ingestion of the mushroom species Cortinarius speciosissimus. Light microscopy revealed acute tubular necrosis, multinucleated tubular epithelial cells and concentric medial muscular hyperplasia of arteries. Electronmicroscopy showed the displaced and abnormal architecture of actin filaments at the periphery of the cytoplasm in renal tubular epithelial cells.

“…In most cases, renal biopsy shows a picture of predominant interstitial nephritis with a progressive interstitial fibrosis, while glomerular lesions are generally absent . The biopsy of our patient differed from this classical picture, mainly because of the presence of chronic glomerular lesions, a finding probably due to his past history of diabetes, hypertension, and renal dysfunction.…”

“…Atlikus inkstų biopsiją, pastebimas intersticinis nefritas su progresuojančia fibroze, nors glomerulų pažeidimų nėra [21]. Kai kuriose šalyse, nesant galimybės ištirti arba pamatyti vartotus grybus, naudojamas tiesioginis orelanino toksino radimas inkstų biopsijoje plono sluoksnio chromatografijos būdu, tačiau tai nėra paplitę [22].…”

“…23 Renal biopsies of patients with renal failure after the ingestion of Cortinarius mushrooms demonstrate nonspecifi c tubulointerstitial changes with marked edema, patchy tubular necrosis, and mild mononuclear infl ammatory infi ltrates. 27 Healing occurs via fi brosis with variable amounts of tubular atrophy, patchy tubular loss, and renal dysfunction. The glomeruli are usually preserved with little if any mesangial reaction, and the renal vessels are patent.…”
