sub epithelial hump.. most characteristic change in post infectious GN. This is a classical "hump" so i could say that it is subepithelial but otherwise i m not sure how i can say that this is sub epithelial or sub endothelial as this image is so magnified i can't identify epithelial and endothelial sides... any help?
I agree with you Pradeep- you cannot clearly distinguish sub-epi from sub-endothelial on this image (no clear podocyte foot processes or endothelial fenestrations). But the shape of the deposit is classic post-infectious "hump" so subepithelial is the best guess.
