Comparative Immunohistochemical Study of Multicystic Dysplastic Kidneys With and Without Obstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Etiology of multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) remains unknown. Not all cases are associated with obstruction. We compared by immunohistochemistry 17 cases of MCDK (10 cases with and seven without obstruction) to 17 controls and 20 fetal kidneys. TGF-β was negative in obstructive MCDKs and positive in nonobstructive MCDK. IGF2 was overexpressed in obstructive and underexpressed in nonobstructive MCDKs. PAX2, BCL-2, and β-catenin were expressed equally in obstructive and nonobstructive dysplasia. TGF-β and IGF2 work by different mechanisms in obstructive and nonobstructive MCDKs, but there are no differences among PAX 2, BCL-2, and β-catenin in obstructive versus nonobstructive dysplasia.

BACKGROUND Kallmann's syndrome is characterized by anosmia and hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism. Radiographic studies of teenagers and older subjects with the X-linked form of the syndrome have shown that up to 40% have an absent kidney unilaterally. Although this has been attributed to renal "agenesis", a condition in which the kidney fails to form, little is known about the appearance of the de...
