A 26-year-old man is involved in a motor vehicle accident and sustains acute blood loss. He is hypotensive for several hours before paramedical personnel arrive. They stabilize the bleeding and transport him to a hospital, where he receives a transfusion of 3 units of packed RBCs. Over the next week, the serum urea nitrogen level increases to 48md/dL, the serum creatinine level increases to 5mg/dL, and the urine output decreases. He undergoes hemodialysis for the next 2 weeks and then develops marked polyuria, with urine output of 2 to 3L per day. His recovery is complicated by bronchopneumonia, but renal function gradually returns to normal. Which of the following histological features best characterizes the patient’s transient renal disease?
A.
Glomerular crescents in Bowman's space
B.
Interstitial lymphocytic infiltrates
C.
Arteriolar fibrinoid necrosis
D.
Nodular glomerulosclerosis
E.
Rupture of the tubular basement membrane
