A story of glomerulopathies: a pathologist's experience

  • Published:
Pediatric Nephrology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

“Before the clinician laughs at the histopathologist the histopathologist is entitled to laugh at the clinician, because the clinician has pathetically few categories into which he can divide his observations and these categories are equally arbitrary ... So the histopathologist may be looking at rubble, but the clinician is looking at rubble cleared by a bulldozer and arranged into heaps!” S. Cameron [1]
