renal/urinary system
• urinary creatinine and urea/creatinine ratios are decreased in 24 hour urine output of phenotypic mutants
|
• urine sodium/creatinine and chloride/creatinine ratios tend to be decreased in 24-hour urine and spot urine samples of phenotypic mutants
|
• phenotypic mutants (ie. mice with pathological plasma urea levels) show kidney morphological defects
|
• atrophy of renal papilla is commonly found in phenotypic mutants
|
• in 4- and 10-month old phenotypic male mutants, uni- or bilateral dilatation of the renal pelvis is observed in phenotypic mutants
|
• focal calcification of tubular epithelial cells is prominently seen in phenotypic mutants
|
• focal calcification of tubular epithelial cells is prominently seen
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• increased levels are seen in phenotypic mutants
|
• urinary creatinine and urea/creatinine ratios are decreased in 24 hour urine output of phenotypic mutants
|
• mice have pathological plasma urea levels with 91% penetrance when analyzed at 3 months (2 measurements >70 mg/dl within 3-week period)
|
• reduced plasma glucose is observed in phenotypic mutants
|
• significantly reduced plasma chloride level is observed in phenotypic mutants
|
• urine sodium/creatinine and chloride/creatinine ratios tend to be decreased in 24-hour urine and spot urine samples of phenotypic mutants
