  1. a.s.: autopsy specimen; * rich amounts of intraepithelial pigment (lipofuschin) in proximal tubules; **polymorphoduclear cells PMN; *** fibrous thickening of the Bowman's capsule; : hyalinisation of arterioles
  2. The severity of lesions in each compartment, including the severity of individual lesions as well as the degree of distribution of changes, was assessed by a semiquantitative method, from 0 through 3 (0 = normal, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe)
