Proliferative structural (histologic) descriptor refers to an increase in glomerular cells (e.g., mesangial, endothelial, basement membrane). In the extra capillary space, this forms specific lesions that are termed crescents, which are made of macrophages, fibroblasts, and other cells. These crescent cells accumulate in the Bowman space and represent a rupture of the capsule.
