This study presents an easy-to-use, complete, and simple set of methods to label and analyze glomeruli from CUBIC-cleared mouse kidneys. Data such as glomerulus number and volume can be obtained easily and reliably using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-Dextran, light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM), or common confocal microscopy and software such as Imaris.
