6. glomerulonephritis
   Inflammatory response in the kidney glomerulus that often arises because immune complexes cannot pass through the basement membrane of the fenestrated epithelium where plasma filtration occurs. Circulating neutrophils are trapped on the accumulated adhesive immune-complexes (that also activate complement). Immune complex tends to be irregularly distributed in contrast to the picture in Goodpasture's syndrome.
