renal/urinary system
• progressive development of cysts in the cortex and medulla and in the corticomedullary junction
• cysts appear empty or filled with an acidophilic material or fresh blood
• however, calcified deposits, renal cell carcinoma, thickening and lamination of tubular basement membranes, and glomerular and vascular sclerosis are not seen
|
• focal lymphocytic infiltrate is seen in the intervening kidney tissue
|
• cystic dilation of the Bowman space around glomeruli is occasionally seen
|
• mild interstitial fibrosis is seen in the intervening kidney tissue
|
• mild expansion of the renal pelvis
|
• tubular atrophy is seen in the intervening kidney tissue
|
• occasionally dilation of the loop of Henle is seen
|
• renal tubules are dilated due to cysts
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• some mice with renal cysts also have pancreatic cysts
|
immune system
• focal lymphocytic infiltrate is seen in the intervening kidney tissue
|
liver/biliary system
