mortality/aging
• reduced survival with a half-life of about 5-6 weeks
|
growth/size/body
renal/urinary system
N |
• do not display hypercalciuria unlike in some human patients
|
• elevated PGE2 levels in the urine
|
• hypertrophy
|
• proliferation of renin-secreting cells with renin expressing cells extending into the interlobular arteries
|
• massive hydronephrosis beginning at 2 weeks of age
|
small kidney
(
J:259639
)
• overall kidney size is reduced
|
• marked flattening of the cells
• almost complete absence of parvalbumin indicates atrophy and disappearance of the initial portion of the distal convoluted tubule
|
• appear dilated with flattened epithelial cells
|
• no 9-pS chloride channels are recorded in distal convoluted tubule patches
• no ~10-pS Cl- channels are detected intercalated cells of the connecting tubule and the collecting duct or in cells from the cortical thick ascending limb
|
• treatment with furosemide fails to elicit an increase in urinary sodium excretion unlike in wild-type controls
• marked decrease in thiazide sensitivity
|
homeostasis/metabolism
hypokalemia
(
J:259639
)
• elevated PGE2 levels in the urine
|
• treatment with furosemide fails to elicit an increase in urinary sodium excretion unlike in wild-type controls
• marked decrease in thiazide sensitivity
