renal/urinary system
• abnormal pyeloureteral peristalsis resulting from kidney and ureter developmental defects
|
• abnormal development of the renal pelvis due to impaired mesenchymal cell proliferation in the developing urinary tract, resulting in abnormal pyeloureteral peristalsis
|
• first evident at 5 days of age and becoming more severe by 12 days of age
• in most cases the obstruction occurred at the level of the ureteropelvic junction
• associated with severe parenchymal atrophy, massive nephron loss, interstitial fibrosis, severe dilation of the tubular and pelvicaliceal space
• putatively due to abnormal the pyeloureteral peristalsis that resulted from the kidney and ureter developmental defects
|
• severe parenchymal atrophy and massive nephron loss
|
• abnormal development of the ureter due to impaired mesenchymal cell proliferation in the developing urinary tract, resulting in abnormal pyeloureteral peristalsis
|
• in most cases the obstruction occurred at the level of the ureteropelvic junction
|
• renal failure following progressive renal obstruction
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• observed at 12 days of age and indicative of impaired renal function
|
cellular
• decreased proliferation of mesenchymal cells along the urinary tract
|
muscle
• abnormal pyeloureteral peristalsis resulting from kidney and ureter developmental defects
