Abstract

BACKGROUND: Glomerular lesions are the main injuries of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and are used as a crucial index for pathologic classification. Manual quantification of these morphologic features currently used is semi-quantitative and time-consuming. Automatically quantifying glomerular morphologic features is urgently needed.
