This chapter characterizes the clinical and pathological characteristics of obesity and metabolic syndrome-associated glomerular disease other than diabetes with a detailed discussion and images of the ultrastructural features. Concomitant or superimposed glomerular lesions with distinctive ultrastructural features are also included.
