Macroscopically, The Kidneys in subacute glomerulonephritis are enlarged and flabby; the cortical layer is widened, yellowish-brown with red stippling, while the medullary pyramids are markedly hyperemic and red (the large mottled Kidney). Sometimes the cortex is extremely hyperemic and blends in color with the red pyramids; such a kidney is referred to as the large red kidney. Outcomes: acute and chronic renal failure.
