Glomerulitis + Suppurative inflammation
What does glomerulitis look like histologically?
Tiny areas of hemorrhage
What happens when glomerulitis spread when septicemia is involved?
Extends into surrounding tissues
Causes interstitial + tubular inflammation/necrosis
= Suppurative tubulointerstitial nephritis
